anyone else feel this way?????

I hear ya. yep the Midwest is not California!!!!!!!

good buddy of 30 years, has a small Mopar boneyard. i needed an 8 3/4 rear for my 67 Bel1 project. $200 complete with open 3rd member, that was a "buddy" price! like he said, these old cars and parts are drying up.

most of the spare parts are in the hands of enthusias ts. they sell off stuff to finance current projects.

finding parts you need and afforadable is like an Easter Egg hunt!!!!! I have to admit , my mind is still back in the 80's and 90's, when parts were way more plentiful and sometimes but not always way more affordable.... now days some just are findable!!!!!!! unless you take out a bank loan!!??? LOL
