Buyer beware....0 -
I've got one you can have for postage. But you'll have to rechrome it...
email me if interested.0 -

Always a good recommendation!0 -
Best bet is K-Gap they sell the repo and you won't have to worry about rechrome. Just buy it and apply it.....I am a poet and I don't know it.....0

I have known and been a friend of Glen Johnson for 25 years ! I highly recommend doing buisness with him, with anythng he sells! And I will continue buying parts from him!0

I think Glen has always been fair with me too.If something is a real nice piece,he might demand a higher price,and I'm always glad he has had it!.Through the years,Glen like many others,have had and saved great parts for people and their cars.Parts that aren't as nice as others usually are not priced the same.0 -
I think that perhaps a clarification should be made, in regards to where this thread is or is not heading. Perhaps Mr. Johnson is a great hudson parts dealer, OFF EBAY...
(ebay ID glens46golden)
Heck, I would even consider buying from him, if I could examine the parts first hand. His prices seem fair, it's just other things I would worry about. Even with hard to find parts, his prices seem fair on eBay. I see those auctions, I stay away.
but for some of those that have dealt with him on ebay, seems to be a different story. word travels...
I don't care for the idea of purchasing items that are "not available" or "don't fit" or have other quality issues. Seems this is often the case with more than one of his clientele from eBay.
What do you do if you have a bad transaction? leave negative feedback? Well, we all know you don't want to do that in fear of messing up your own feedback with retalitory feedback, so you just let the transaction run it's course, spend the money to ship the item back to the seller that is clearly not up to quality standards.
So in the end your out the initial shipping, the return shipping, your time, and still don't have the part you needed. But you're out a bunch of shipping costs.
Seems to me, as a seller on eBay, I try to make every effort to make sure I got happy people out there when I sell. I usually lose money on shipping, just to make sure I don't gouge someone. (heck, I even lost out on the Doc Hudsons I sold on here a few weeks ago...) Also, I can't imagine selling an item that is not back from the plater yet, or has questionable quality, etc... No excuses for bad business, eBay or not. That's not how you conduct any kind of business....
You make the reputation you deserve, let's just say it how it is. There seems to still be that small group of old time hudson guys that still want to milk the younger crowd for everything they can.
Screw em, charge them for a bunch of rusty crap....
hey, everyone has to learn the "hudson" ropes...
That car didn't have a perimeter frame, sorry kid, I didn't know...
Hey kid, you'll never find one of those.... good luck....
There are those others that have made every effort to forward the club the best they can, spending countless hours working on better solutions, making needed parts, etc....
The next HET generation has a clear vision of who these people are.
With the dynamics of the internet, and the way it has changed commerce and communications, these old timers are running out of time. word is out.
Hey, why do you think I recommended K-GAP, Dale Cooper, Bill Albright, even that Wildrick fellow, so quickly?
you tell others about those dealers that offer terrific services and products.0 -

It is nice that you replied Hudsonkid,your point is well taken.Sometimes I know how parts come back from the replaters.Sometimes they need to be cleaned up here or there.It might be something that we older Het club members need to do.Educate the younger guys what to expect,and this does come with years of trial and error situations.Hardpart reproduction Hudson parts are not in big supply-YET-someday we hope to have this luxury,but for now we need to all work together at solving any issues that make the cars and parts availible at a "better"cost to our members.Thanks0 -
I TOO AS OTHERS have known and been a friend of Glen Johnson for OVER 30 years ! I highly recommend doing buisness with him, with anythng he sells! And I will continue buying parts from him!0

geez...
I can't believe how long-winded that last post was...
can you perhaps edit me some? hehe...
(geez.... I almost did it again, here, in this space was a terrific diatribe on the HET club, but I deleted this whole section... I didn't think it worked for this post... See, Jon B and Lew... I'm trying to behave!!!! somebody's buying hudsonkid a soda at Doc's meet!!!!
)
I applaud the efforts of those that make it easier for people like me to get their hudsons running, and keep them running.
As far as educating the younger guys, let's just say some do it better than others... Some of the education is beneficial, and sometimes it comes in the form of that of ancient Greece.... ouch...0 -
There are those who have bad experiences with certain Hudson people and those that haven't. It's a small Hudson world. My suggestion is that people remember this before they try to screw someone, purposely or otherwise.0

I have been dealing with platers for over 25 years. Plating is the same as painting. Preparation is important. You can not get good results when you plate a part that is not perfect. Glen does not do the preparation. If you want good results, you can either pay someone to prepare or do it yourself. I have gotten all of the chrome for Nick's 48 from Glen Johnson, and am very well pleased. Before I sent cores, I removed all of the pits and defects.0
-
I've bought a number of parts from Glen- some direct, some through ebay. In fairness to him, the mechanical parts have been good, as have a number of those he had plated. But not all. Nick sums up my experience pretty well. Glen did not clean up or prepare my parts for plating. I would say they went to the plater as he received them. And that is what he charged me for. He packed everything well, and used the least expensive method(s) of shipping.
Now I do have a complaint or two about the person doing the plating for him. At times he didn't seem to keep his solution(s) clean, and he was a bit rough in removing the chrome from bumpers and grille work. He did not seem to put any particular effort into straightening pieces, either. And I've had a couple of pieces come back with sanding marks they should not have, or not quite configured as they should have been. I've also never seen any evidence that copper was used in the plating process.
From my experience, I've come to consider Glen's plating shop as a "discount' operation. I'll continue to send him some parts for plating, and certainly to continue buying other parts from him.
All in all, I wish I had had a better understanding of 1. what is involved in plating old parts, and 2. how Glen's operation works. Experience is a good teacher, but as Ben Franklin observed it is an expensive one...Walt-LA0 -
Hudsonkid,
Thanks for expressing your thoughts and feelings. After having had a very bad experience with a replated bumper purchased on ebay, I agree that there are some things you just can't buy sight unseen. In all fairness, the defective bumper I was sent could have been an oversight. However, my gripe is having to pay for shipping to correct a problem that was clearly the seller's responsibility. Things happen, I get it. But, when it's your reputation at stake, offer to eat the shipping and send out a suitable replacement. Case in point, I had an issue with a part I ordered from a reputable Hudson parts supplier. I simply placed a call and had a fresh part at my door at no charge. But, being a responsible person who felt that he was being treated very fairly, I paid to return the defective part to demonstrate the problem, even though it was not requested that I do so. People who can't, don't or won't take responsibility for their actions should not be dealing with the public.0 -
I will never bid on ebay or buy anything from Glen Johnson. I won an auction on a rear horse collar about a year ago. This was a perfect triple plated sanblasted piece as he described. The same day my auction ended he listed an identical piece. The underbidder on the auction I won, won that auction and did get his piece from Glen. That person does post here. Glen jacked me around for about 2 months with excuses, the plater's workers didn't show up, wasn't ready, Lost power in the platers shop, etc. Glen eventually Offered me one that had a few holes in it!!!! Remember, this was supposed to be PERFECT! Finally after about two months, he returned a check and I was only out the postage and cost of the money order. I considered myself lucky!!! Never did Glen offer any other solution, remember the guy that won the auction after mine got his piece and I've saved every email and all the lame excuses and offering me a POS piece with holes in it. I'm sure many people are happy, But I think Glen takes care of a few of the members from the OLD BOYS HUDSON CLUB. Other, beware! He don't care about his reputation among the newer/younger members.0

Hudsondad,
So many good sayings apply. Such as:
"A man is only as good as his word"
"What goes around comes around"
"Make one customer happy and they'll tell one person. Make a customer unhappy and they'll tell the world"
"Won't get fooled again"
"A fool and his money are soon parted"
"Internet fraud, a passport to an all expense paid holiday at a federal facility"0 -
Hudsondad...
wow...
Dave53-7C
My mission is to warn every time Glen's name is mentioned, not to say the guy is not a good guy in person, but to make sure any potential buyer on this board knows that he has in the past had issues he left unresolved, uncorrected, and otherwise, used lousy business practices, especially for eBay.
I also make sure to give props to anyone that has done a superior job offering me a part, or service, or information.
Just the way the world spins, that's all.
To all others...
Let's be frank...
you tout the 30 years (or more or less...) in the hudson club as a badge of honor. There are a lot of us that know whether this is a plus or minus, and well, some of you don't got a very good rep with some of the newer folks...
Geez...
Hudsondad,
get the torch out...
were gonna subframe my hudson....0 -
Without a doubt my all-time WORST experience on ebay was with "glens46golden" and he made no effort to satisfactorily resolve the auction I won. I was under the impression when you put something on ebay and describe it, you would have it in your possession. I'm sure he has a group of old time hudson club members that he caters to and they have many good experiences. Apparently everyone he deals with is NOT treated by the same standards.0
-
"glens46golden" E-bay feedback rating 99.6% positive with 509 positive and one negative! Must be a lot of good old boys out there!
0 -
Still say it's a small Hudson world. Best to be at 100% if possible. A Hudson vendor can't afford one bad deal. The power of word of mouth is too great.0
-
If you include me and the volume of people who PM's me about similar bad experiences, all who didn't leave negative fedback BTW, that positive feedback would be significantly less.0

Both of his dings on his feedback are in regards to shipping, or misrepresentation of the item....
hmmmm...
Neutral feedback rating
"item was not N.O.S. as stated, was also damaged,jacked up price with handling fee"
Negative feedback rating
">BEWARE< TRIED TO STICK ME WITH $591 FREIGHT BILL ON A $200 ITEM THEN PLAYS DUMB"
If we lived in a world where everyone on ebay posted the truth about their transaction, it would be great. but for every dissatisfied person that posts, there are plenty that don't, for fear of retalitory feedback, from the other person involved in the transaction.
Hey, I've been on eBay for ~10 years, mainly about 7 years on my current ID, and I have 230 feedback at 100% and 291 individual positive. No negative, no neutral.
I guess the price for a few to be part of the "old boys club" is a price that the rest of us not in that club have to bear.
good news is that membership is dwindling... if you know what I mean.
Keep in mind, I would buy parts from Glen if I got to handle them, and they actually existed, and it was cash and carry. I'm sure he's a great guy, and a fine member of the old boy's club.0 -

Unfortunately, leaving negative feedback most times gets you a retalitory ding. Most people move on. I do have all the Emails, and excuses for two months and he did not complete the auction. I'm sure he treats you differently, then some others he hasn't known for many years.0 -

Hudsonkid, you sound like one of those whiners who think the price of parts should be as quoted in the year parts book.
Why don't you back off with your negativisim. I've been in this HET club for over 35 years and a better bunch of people you will NOT find anywhere. I, for one, am sick of your whining and bad mouthing everybody and everything. Maybe you need to get rid of your Hudson material (charge what you think YOU should pay) and go somewhere else.
I consider this HET club and it's members my "other" family - and I have no reason to think otherwise. It's obvious you have issues and need to address them.
Hudsonly,
Alex Burr

I think this has turned into to big a deal. K-Gap has the badges and so does Bill A, which is where I got mine. See simple and to the point. :cool:0

Hey Hudsonkid,
You whine and have issues because you spoke your mind and told of bad experiences you and others have had! That's rich. As long as the subject matter is factual and free of obscenity, as it has been, there's nothing wrong with expressing one's right to free speach.
If someone doesn't like the content of a thread or post, they have the option to ignore it. If they elect not to, it is not acceptable to lash out with the intention to insult, belittle, besmirch or imply that someone has mental or emotional problems (issues). Furthermore, it is also not acceptable for ANY one member to take it upon themself to ask or suggest that another member leave the fold.
I can relate to how you must be feeling Hudsonkid, it has happened to me, too. Some people are just reactive and want to pick a fight while others take it upon themselves to read into things in a futile attempt to discover some nonexistant meaning.
I suggest that if a member has a disagreement or problem with another member, they should be civil and handle it via PM's, thereby sparing the innocent bystanders.
Everyone have a nice day and enjoy your Hudson. 0 -
I'm freezing this thread for the time being. I'm not sure that any further discussion on the subject is necessarily going to be enlightening, so much as simply going to add fuel to the fire....0
