I've got it a bit better than most. Not only do I have a Napa, but I also have a locally owned independant parts store as well. Actually, the local Napa stores (got 3 in Vermilion Co.) are all owned locally as well. The independant store, Danville Auto Parts, many times actually has the part I need in stock, and if not, can have it to me in less than a week. They mostly carry Federal-Mogul brands, Wagner, Moog, Fel-Pro, Anco, but also Mr. Gasket and are a licensed Holley dealer. They also carry just about anything a guy could need from Permatex/Loctite. Also, within a block of that store, I have an exellent machine shop, Phil's, that's been in business for a long time, and also an auto paint supplier, Danville Omni Color, a PPG dealer. I've also got a couple of good salvage yards withing a reasonable drive that do not crush vintage tin. Check out my WebShots pix in my signature, there's some shots in ther under Junkyard finds to see an example of what they have.
