Paddock does not have the quality of Ames or Performance Years. They do not specialize in one brand or the other and alot of the parts in the Firebird catalog are for camaros and not firebirds. Since the Paddock is only an hour from me, I use them for small parts. I have bought some more expensive parts from them in the past, but have never been satisfied with the quality. Ames is better quality and are much more knowledgable about Pontiac (since that is all they sell). I would not buy any high dollar parts from Paddock.
