the goodguys hot rod show comes to indy pretty soon. there is alot of hop up stuff, and alot of resto stuff as well. many hard to find reproduced parts (ever try to find a instrument panel for a 68-72 chevy with the factory tach? or, maybe original trim for a 55 truck?) things along this line is what i'm talking about. many new automotive services and products. there is always 200 plus vendors, all ready to deal. what i'm considering is trying to contact as many as possible to become a part of our little group, and offer us a sort of volume discount. i realize the parts won't be totally original, but may be just what you need to finish your project. yes tool vendors are on the list, but so are parts and services. in short, anything and everything i can arrange. thing is, i gotta see some interest by you guys, and so far i ain't. 2 or 3 of us will not make this practical. 2 or 3 hundred of us might, and a thousand of us will, and there are that many of us. it's like you calling for a gallon of paint, and wal-mart calling for a hundred thousand gallons of the same thing----guess who gets the better price. the info exchanged on this site is useful, all i want to do is make it more financially useful, and easier to locate. hard to find parts, tools, acessories, tools, at the best price possible. like my old friend justin used to say "sorta makes tings more better". cool
