If you need parts for a classic, might be worth taking a vacation and driving through small towns in TX, AZ and NM checking junkyards.
With the dry heat out here, metal lives forever.
Since oil has been big out here forever, lots of old money means lots of old luxury cars.
Wandering through the boneyard in Abilene there were literally hundreds of 40's, 50's and '60s era hulks. Even more 70s & 80s
Pretty much all of the steel was in good shape - paint and interior mostly was long ago sunburned away to nothing but the metal stays solid.
Saw a 48 caddy side by side with a 49 lincoln in one spot.
Caddy all looked good except missing a hood, but there was another caddy a few cars down that coulda donated it.
Just tossing out a vacation idea for those needing hard to find steel!
