Default Speed Shop Parts - Lengthy Backorders

As many of us have found out over the past year, a lot of what used to be standard off the shelf parts are now seeming to be made of unobtanium? Many parts haven't been stocked in ages. That holds true for tires, wheels, rods, pistons, lifters, transmission gears and the list goes on and on.

Well today I lucked out. Been waiting for someone to get some Goodyear tires in stock, and was also looking for a good set of forged connecting rods. Well I looked online last night and it appeared Jeg's had both items in stock. I called today and the guy on the phone confirmed I snagged the last 4 tires they had back in stock, and I also got one of 3 sets of rods they just got in.

He said he was amazed that I could call in and get 2 of 2 items off the shelf, as that doesn't normally happen anymore. I know many people have put engine and transmission builds off due to parts being back ordered and I'm hoping the supply chain catches up one of these years. It's become agonizing to say the least.
