Tony:
For the parts question, take it one part at a time. Most parts you will need you will get from different places. There are simply 100s of suppliers sitting out there waiting to take your money.
Go to the search section at the top of the page and list the part you want. You will find a bunch of posts concerning that particular part and someone's recommendation of where or where not to buy it.
Also this forum has a section for selling and buying parts, check it out. Then there's always eBay and the bone yard. Have fun, it's a great trip.
Oh yeah, and welcome to the Bolt buddy.
