Yes, it is great. Just got some parts from Year One
for my musclecar-era '66 Plymouth. No end of parts for my '56 Brand-F's
either.
With scrap prices high, every day I see huge loads of old
cars going to the shredder. All-American, a local 20 acre classic yard,
has crushed all its MoPars. My favorite all MoPar yard,
Wildcat, has crushed a couple hundred cars, mostly '70's.
If you need forward look parts, particularly body parts, get
them now because it doesn't look like there'll be a tomorrow.

There are similar 900 page catalogs for my 70 Olds
Cutlass. The problem is, a lot of the repro stuff turns out to be cheap
junk.

I just got in the
mail a huge 900 + page catalog from "classic industries" for the full size
Chevrolet cars 1958/1996.....
Man how this would
change our world if they had a 900 page book for "forward look" Mopars
1955/1961!!!!
One could just
order up emblems and sheet metal, or door inserts and steering wheels and horn rings
or intakes and carbs "oh my" !!! on and on it would
go.....
Would that make
our cars less of what they are to us??
For me a great
deal of the allure is getting the parts I need and renewing them or
finding someone to renew them for me at a price I can
afford....
However would it
not be nice to hit up one web site or catalog and order that
bezel that one needed or piece of trim that would finish the
car!
This would be
something a kin to Gary Goers but on steroids and in the 21st
century!!!
Anyone have a lot
of capital and a talent for this sort of work want to partner
up???
Speaking of Gary I
envision his shop like a kid envisions Santa's shop! I would buy a ticket
just to see it.....
