the great part about of A bodies is basically a large number of parts cars and parts out there. majority of these cars were entry level lower price cars when NEW and that still holds true TODAY! yes it costs some $$ to ship, but Fl has a huge population of mopar guys, NETWORK!
yes lots of variance in prices of used parts. worth whatever someone will pay, but like said, no use paying $500 for a good fender, when you can buy entire 4 door parts car for same price!!!!
no use paying more for a part just because someone either does not know what a "fair" price is, or looking to finance his resto with overpriced JUNK>
you might mail Tony ( whitepunkonnitro) and ask his availability and prices on some parts you need. other good vendors on here too. I see good used parts vendors ask prices that I sometimes think are maybe a little cheap and sometimes a little high, but guys that deal in used parts all the time, that have reps for knowing their stuff and are fair, usually are pretty close on what a part should bring. retail, generally I figure. just my opinion.
then there are places like wildcat, sorry, for instance, that think every old car part is gold!?????
dash pad got the bad drups, sounds like you at least need a good core. the "cap" will work over one that is straight, and has even big cracks, you just have to grind and massage it so the cap will cover it as to look pretty much like new.
