Re: Where do you purchase your parts?

[chris-p]

I guess I feel differently than some.

I like to support the members that sell the parts.

For coils/condensors, I buy from Jim Judkins.

Paint I buy from NYMarine

I sell parts as well, but have limited supply. When I need items like gaskets, pistons, rings, etc…. I find email to Ed Elliot, Ken Hall, Dan Gano, etc…will have anything I could need.

For Old Iron Parts, 1 email to Doug Penn is usually all you need. Although, sadly I hear he may be retiring shortly.

I like to support them. They are doing a service to the hobby.

I support my local dealer as well. Although, he usually buys from me for NLA parts lol. I just give him the parts, items like 5.5/7.5 shock absorbers, stuff like that he can no longer get. In return he gives me deals on trade ins. So like Scott says, one hand washes the other.

I also have a large circle of close friends, and we don’t even really charge each other for items we may need. It all comes around. Its not all about money.
