When we started SS396.com, a Ground Up Motors company, we had one thing in mind: to bring the best quality restoration parts to everyone, from the weekend driver to the 1000-point restoration. Over the years, we have grown from one person operating out of a garage to our brand new 60,000+ square foot facility in Palm Coast, Florida. Despite our growth, our passion and vision have remained the same: to keep the excitement of classic American muscle running by providing the best parts available, an easy-to-use website, and the best customer support team.

Reviewers had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently mention that online orders arrive very quickly, and products are securely packed to ensure they remain in pristine, damage-free condition during transit. Many people warmly appreciate the helpful and polite technical assistance provided when choosing specific restoration components for their classic vehicles. However, some people mentioned facing ongoing issues with surprisingly high shipping costs and expensive delivery fees that made online purchases less appealing. A few other consumers also noted that occasionally ordered items arrived missing, slightly damaged, or requiring extra manual adjustments to fit properly on their classic cars.

Hi Thurston, thank you for the feedback!
The folks at Ground up are wonderful and polite. I am fortunate to do will call pickup. Great experience every time. They continuously try to supply the best quality restoration parts to us. I purchased aftermarket doors on this order.
Thank you so much for the nice feedback Don! We appreciate your business!
Fast delivery! Now that I know how quick these guys get stuff out to you, I'll definitely be placing more orders with them!
Thank you for the feedback Keith! We look forward to seeing you again!
I've ordered a number of parts from the company, I've been very satisfied. There was a mistake when another part was ordered and shipped to me, and initially they informed me that I ordered the wrong part. In fact, I went back and looked at my order...they were incorrect, they shipped the wrong one. Regardless. of the source of an incorrect order, the part has to go back.In order to get a refund, I need to ship it back to them at my expense. Unfortunately, I am asked to be charged full shipping rates from carriers such as FedEx and UPS of almost $200. The company evidently has a bulk.shipping rate which is approximately at $24. I asked them to help me with the shipping. I simply wanted them to send me a shipping label with the bulk rate and I would reimburse them for that. Their response was less than the FedEx and UPS carriers at over $100. quite a conundrum… As the part is only valued at $200. Very unfortunate for a repeat customer who has been dedicated to utilizing their product line. Disappointed with the customer service.
Thank you for your continued business and for taking the time to share your experience. We're sorry to hear that this situation left you disappointed. After reviewing your order, it appears your vehicle is a 1969 Camaro, while the parts ordered were for a 1968 Camaro. Although we were able to provide a discounted return shipping label, we understand that the return shipping cost was still significant due to the size of the shipment. We'd also like to clarify that the shipping charge paid at checkout is often only a portion of the actual cost we pay the carrier. Like many retailers, we absorb a significant portion of shipping expenses to remain competitive and offer affordable shipping options to our customers. Unfortunately, those discounted outbound shipping rates typically do not apply to return shipments, particularly for large or oversized items. That said, we believe there were opportunities for us to provide a better overall experience. Our goal is always to treat our customers fairly and find reasonable solutions, especially for those who continue to do business with us. We appreciate your feedback and would welcome the opportunity to review your situation again. If you're willing, please contact our Customer Support team, and we'll be happy to revisit your order and see if there is anything further we can do to help.

I enjoyed th simple way to order on the web site.
Glad you enjoyed the site Eddie, thanks for shopping with us!
It was back ordered for a month so I’m just glad it arrived but it’s worth waiting for
Sorry for the delay Denny, but glad you received it and are happy with it!
I had gotten some door molding from Amazon. After getting everything installed I could not shut the doors and had to slam the trunk. Now they work fine. I did have some trouble with the outer felts. They curve up on the ends. It looked in the manufacturing process they made them straight and then tried to curve them leaving a pucker at the end. I was able to work them out on one side but the other I still have a pucker.
Order came quickly. Added catalog is great.
Thanks for the five stars Monica!
The part was manufactured incorrectly. The transmission cross member had the transmission mount welded off center and would not align correctly. I am requesting a full refund, including freight.

Thanks for the feedback and for the review Chris!
website not easily navigated,I place an order at $137us and was quoted $209-$349.00 for FedEx shipping to AB Canada, called them to ask why and was told very rudely that the quotes were accurate and it was up to me to proceed, well I placed the same order through Camaro Central and the FedEx shipping is $69.00. Well all you enthusiasts out there do yourself a solid and shop around
