I put an order in with Ricks for the "427" fender emblems. However I wanted the short ones (5/8" tall) so I had to get the letters individually which is fine. They sent the 4's and the 7's but just like everything else I frickin order from them, its backordered.
this is the item:

Does anybody know where else I can get them? It has been over 2 months with 'no end in sight'.

I wanted the exact same emblem as you, I don't like the look of the tall numbers on a '68, and I didn't want to go with the individual numbers, I bought a pair of repro '68 Yenko 427 emblems off ebay - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1968-68-YENKO-CAMARO-427-Front-Fender-Emblem-RARE_W0QQitemZ270041414408QQihZ017QQcategoryZ34204 QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
You can also get them from D&R Classics: http://www.drclassic.com/catalog/Camaro/Emblem/EM0094-8.html
But they want $69.95 each... kinda steep for me...

We have the engine sizes made from mirror polished stainless steel that are

Hmmm.... you guys must need to take a shower or something because I've never had a problem with them..... in 7 years. Maybe they don't like you. ;)
Whoops... I take that back... yes I DID have an issue with Ricks once. They sent me an extra part in a large order that I didn't order. I sent it back.

I have only ordered from them a few times, and each and every time half the order is backordered. I guess thats OK but the problem I have is they cant tell me when the parts will be in. Amazing they can run a business without having any idea when parts will be in, yet they chraged my credit card months ago for the part.
Extremely unhelpful on the phone as well, almost like Im bothering them asking when it will be in. "Check back in a couple of weeks" isnt an answer

Rick's (and all the other suppliers) might make 99.9% of thier cutomers very happy, but if your part of that 0.1% minority and they do nothing to make it right, then their overall customer satisfaction record will mean nothing to you.
