When you called Watts Mack for a pair of new headlamp panels, what did they say?

Get a second mortgage.  I appreciate that they sponsor this site but some of the pricing then shipping negates buying from them things that you can get else where or used.  If they (Watts Mack) were more competitive on some stuff I would have no problem calling and spending a couple bucks more to get it from them.  Do they have a captured audience sure they do on certain NOS/NLA or repop parts and everyone knows you have to spend the extra cash to get it.  Most don't have an unlimited budget and cant dump a grand on a B61 windshield gasket, 2 mufflers and a window squeegee set and 8 well nuts.  

Example http://www.wattstruckcenter.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=60_80&product_id=218

$200 muffler plus shipping 

or http://www.ryderfleetproducts.com/donaldson-m085171/muffler-4-in-4--out-p-w26-m085171

$83 plus shipping

or pick up local from Napa for $134

I agree with you.   I do order from them and like to support as well.   But...I live about 3 hours away from them and I think theycharged me $12 shipping for the little aluminum spacers that go on the front fender turnsignals on my B so they sit straight.
