I'd be very careful buying from Branda. I have not gotten even one part from them of decent quality. They claim to be "the" source of quality Shelby parts, but they must be selling them to someone besides me, because all I get are rude salespeople and crappy parts.

I have gotten great parts from them... they made suggestions on which parts to buy, which ones to stay away from and even they ones they sold that would require work.
I would commend them on the customer service I have gotten from Karl. Granted, you may have gotten bad service, but I would deal with them in a heartbeat again.
I'd be the first to give them the benefit of a doubt, but I've ordered parts like '67 Shelby bumper brackets that looked like someone's very first attempt at welding, with razor-sharp holes. Then there were the '67 Shelby headlight brackets with more razor-sharp edges, plus they didn't even come close to fitting. Moving right along the front we have the '67 Shelby high beam brackets with intructions that couldn't have been more vague and if you welded them in place where the "instructions" said to, the lights would have been a whopping 1 1/8" too low to fit the grille. Lots of trimming and lots of bending made them work. I also bought my headlight buckets from the Branda team and was assured that these were exactly what Shelby used and although they were used parts and needed "cleaning" they were nice parts. I laid out $280 for four bent, rusted (one was rusted clear through) and mis-matched headlight buckets. Out of the four, three of them were completely different from the others and only one even came close to looking like a Shelby headlight bucket. I also bought my trunk lid from them and was assured it was a top-notch '67 Shelby replica. Not only was the deck lid too short ( 3/8"), too narrow ( 1/2") and twisted, but it was for a '68 Shelby. When I called to ask why they would send me a '68 when I was very, very specific in asking for a '67 ( '68 deck lids are shorter in the rear and look goofy to me) they told me that they only sell '68 trunks for clones. The end caps for the deck lid would have fit my '88 Mustang about as well as they fit my '68 and took a mountain of work to get them to fit, not exactly what I expected when they assured me they sold only the best. I've spent a ton of money there and yet they still act like it's a huge bother to take my order, and because of that I find my parts elsewhere and encourage anyone building a clone to do the same.
