It will likely never happen, with any of the major resto parts suppliers. Too much red tape, logistics, administrative overhead, and duplication of accounting procedures to justify going into another country with such a specialized product line. I know there's a desperate need in Canada for more affordable parts, but trust me, we wouldn't stand to make a good buck at all, or at least not enough to justify spreading ourselves so thin. This industry is extremely tight and competitive. If there was enough money to be made in Canada, you can bet that Summit Racing, or Mid America Corvette Parts, or LMC Truck, would have already opened distribution warehouses 10 years ago. Not the answer you wanted, I know!
