snaponbob, I think we all know what you mean. Parts that are stock sometimes you are forced to use a vendor for them. That can be painful at times. This forum is a really good source for parts also. Just list what you are looking for and help is usually right there. For the guys that are looking to modify / improve their cars the vendor list opens up dramatically. I have bought parts from Summit Racing for my pantera as well as some of the smaller Panter Vendors all with good experience. one that comes to mind is SACC Restoration great experience.
