Shipping Parts

1. When shipping rare parts, always use wooded crates with foam and peanuts to keep it safe.
   

1. When looking at prices to ship some car part, try to stay away from UPS, look at FedEx and U.S. Post Office. It also helps to ship to a business address instead of your house, so if you can have something shipped to your office or job it helps keep the pricing down.

Selling Parts

1. If you plan on selling unwanted parts at a meet or online, how do you price them?
   

2. 
   

3. What ever price you put on parts, just be willing to work with the buyers. If you price too high plan on hauling the stuff home again at the end of the day.
   

4. Phil Saran
   

5. 
   

6. You can base it on what you paid for them, or on what you would be happy with. You could go on FABO and look for similar items in the ad forums. Or you could just say “make me an offer” when people ask.
   

7. 
   

8. But I can tell you that a lot of people would rather see a price. If they don’t like it, they will try to talk you down. But if there is no price and you are not immediately available, they will just walk on by.
   

9. Max Heim - ‘67 Fastback

11. If you want a ballpark idea, look each part up on Ebay and select the "completed items" check box on the left. Ignore all auctions that didn't get sold (Sold auctions have green colored text only). Those sold auctions give you a good indication of what something is worth. Then you may have to adjust your price depending on how bad you want to get rid of it.

14. I hate when I hear "Make me an offer"....I'm always afraid of possibly insulting the guy with a low bid, or, overpaying for something and have them "jump" at my offer. I find it best to price stuff a bit higher (>10-15%) than what you'd be happy with, let the buyer knock you down a bit, then everyone's happy with the deal.
    

15. Darwin
    

16. 
    

17. I agree with most suggestions. FABO usually has about the most reasonable prices. Price things a little high - everybody wants a bargain.

Buying Parts at a Discount

1. Look for discount codes online to save money on orders. Sometimes you have to spend $100 - S300 for the discount to kick in. So decide what you need and order in bulk. This saves on shipping also.
   

2. 
   

3. Classic Industries usually has a discount code running that will get you 10-15% off on orders over a certain amount. The Classic Industries discounts also apply to sheet metal, including AMD, plus there are no large item shipping costs if you are local. Classic Industries advertises up to a certain % discount if you spend over a certain amount, but most parts end up being less of a discount. The more expensive parts usually end up somewhere in the 10-15% off range. They usually honor old codes too. They always offer a Veteran / Military discount of 10-15%.

Authentic Restoration Parts

1. There are many parts that may be specific only to your car. Original parts are hard to find. But now there are more parts being reproduced for our ‘Cudas than ever before. And these restoration parts are available from numerous sources. You can start from a high-volume warehouse distributor, your local restoration shop, or straight from the manufacturer. This is an expensive hobby.
   

2. 
   

3. Any parts that can be had at your local parts store should be purchased there; things like bearings, for example.  But for some restoration parts, you really don't have a choice.

The Big Boys

1. Check companies like YearOne, Classic, Summit and The Paddock. Nearly every available restoration part can be obtained from them. Their facilities are large, these companies keep lots of parts in stock. Most of the warehouse suppliers deal with multiple vendors. If you need a part quickly, your best chance of finding it in stock is usually with them. Because they buy in volume, they can often offer discounts. They also carry high-performance parts as well.

8. YearOne carries good quality stuff with a markup, when you find out who their supplier is and buy direct from them, it can save you 10-20% or more. If your in a rush and willing to pay, they are a safe bet.
   

9. Todd
   

1. Run your list past the email list members and got some good advice on what should be bought from YearOne and what shouldn't (they are expensive in general).
   

2. 
   

3. Jim's Auto Parts is generally cheaper than YearOne, but after the YearOne 10% discount, the prices are about the same. 
   

Discount Codes

1. It pays to get on you favorite vendor's email list. Finding what you need online and then get on their email list before ordering
   

2. 
   

3. Every week you’ll get a code for at least 25% off YearOne.
   

4. Classic Industries frequently has discounts over holidays.
   

5. Advance Auto often has a 20% discount.

The Small Guys

1. The small guys offer excellent restoration parts too. Specialty parts manufacturers and suppliers can provide quality parts for your ‘Cuda, at reasonable prices. Call them directly.
   

2. 
   

3. Companies like Dante's Mopar Parts, Glendora Dodge , Herb's Parts, Mancini Racing, P.G. Classic Restorations, Stephens Performance, Tony's Mopar Parts, and Van's Auto are also among the plentiful suppliers of parts. While they may not have the inventory that warehouse suppliers do, they often offer customized service, and can order the parts you need. Check their websites and order by the internet.

Swap Meets

Pomona Swap Meet

1. It is usually a lousy place for original Mopar parts, and what you do find will usually be expensive. Everyone should go once, but don't be too hopeful.
   

2. Dave Dalmas
   

3. 
   

4. There is usually a very good selection of Mopar manuals, mostly from one vendor who has a large space right on the main drag. But with the parking and entry fees, you might get a better total price on-line. Classic Industries in Huntington Beach has '67 FSMs in their catalog for $70.

Kapton tape

1. Kapton tape resists pokey objects much better than stretchy black electrical tape, and the adhesive does not turn gummy over a couple of years.
   

Exhaust

1. Tube Technologies Inc. has the highest quality exhaust parts available.
   

2. For an OE restoration, Accurate Exhaust Products makes what you need.
   

Fittings & Tubing

1. If you ever need hard to find fittings, this company is excellent: FittingsandAdapters.com Large stock, and very knowledgeable and helpful. Plus, they are in Canoga Park and Las Vegas.http://www.allvalleyhose.com
   

2. These guys have quite a bit of stuff and are pretty knowledgeable. Also, these guys specialize in automotive fittings, hose & tubing and are really good to work with in Canoga Park as well:
   

3. http://ormebrothers.com
   

4. 
   

5. They get a lot of their fittings from allvalleyhose, but they carry a lot of the brake & fuel tubing in bulk and can make up automotive hose much easier and are more knowledgeable in this area. Especially helpful in building up a fuel system for fuel injection applications.
   

Hoses

Maintenance-Free Clamps

1. They retain dynamic tension and never need retightening.
   

2. 
   

3. Highly recommended reading for mining equipment maintenance manager types, works great on cars too. I have heard nothing but good things so far and know a few local auto shops that no longer use conventional hose clamps.

10. I still feel a little uncertain about them, so the regular hose clamps are in the trunk, just in case. The only problem I've found is when I've had to remove the radiator hose. It's hard to cut them of without cutting slightly into the end of the hose. Someone told me there is a special tool for cutting them off.
    

11. Ron Evans - ’67 Coupe
    

1. Harbor Freight discontinued the Goodyear hose a few years ago. I recently ordered some stuff from Northern Tool, and discovered that they now carry the same Goodyear hose. I ordered some, and its the same good stuff! Its available in 25', 50' and 100' lengths. They have it in several different colors. All of mine is black, so I can't opine on the durability of the others. A few of the catalog items are 1/2" diameter, if anyone needs it for a framing nailer, sandblaster or 3/4" impact wrench.

4. Northern Tool runs a promotion every year between Thanksgiving and Christmas. If you order $100, $250 or $500, you get a coupon for $10, $25 or $50 off your next order. About 1-2 weeks before Christmas theydouble the value of the coupon for a few days. Prepare your shopping list and time your orders to get the best bargain.

Interior

1. You'll need to replace missing, worn, or deteriorated items such as seals, hood bumpers, window felts, and numerous interior items. They all need to be replaced during a restoration.
   

2. 
   

3. Legendary Auto Interiors offers great upholstery for most Chrysler products. Legendary sells all interior parts including door panels They don’t offer discounts very often.
   

4. 
   

5. Order the interior stuff (carpeting, upholstery) from YearOne instead of Legendary.  They resell the Legendary stuff, and after a 20% discount, they are cheaper.

Nuts, Bolts, Fasteners, etc.

1. The only way to get "correct" fasteners is off another car/engine. The kits sold may look correct but may not have the correct stamping. It all depends on how correct you want to be.
   

2. Alan Erland
   

Grade Bolts  (5 vs 8)

1. You need to be able to identify bolts by the different grades when you go to the local hardware store. Grade 5 bolts have 3 marks or lines on the head that are in the shape of a “Y”. Grade 8 bolts have 6 marks on the head. Grade 8 fasteners are far superior to grade 5 fasteners. The automotive OEM’s use what it needs to be safe and nothing more since there is a difference in cost between grade 5 and grade 8.
   

Nuts

1. A flange nut is a nut that has a wide flange at one end that acts as an integrated, non-spinning washer. This serves to distribute the pressure of the nut over the part being secured, reducing the chance of damage to the part and making it less likely to loosen as a result of an uneven fastening surface.
   

2. 
   

3. The serrated flange nut may be serrated to provide a locking action. The serrations are angled such that they keep the nut from rotating in the direction that would loosen the nut. Because of the serrations they cannot be used with a washer or on surfaces that must not be scratched. The serrations help in preventing the vibration of the nut from moving the fastener, thus maintaining the holding power of nut.
   

4. 
   

5. A Keps nut, (also called a K-nut[1] or washer nut), is a nut with an attached, free-spinning washer. It is used to make assembly more convenient. Common washer types are star-type lock washers, conical, and flat washers.
   

Fasteners

1. You can generally use either the "bobby pin" style clip or a cotter pin anywhere you have a cross hole drilled. If there is just a groove, you can use a C clip, E clip, R clip or a bobby pin.
   

2. Max Heim
   

Aftermarket Nuts, Bolts, Fasteners, etc. Suppliers

1. You can’t get OEM hardware from PepBoys, O'Reilly, etc. They have limited selections. For bolts and screws, I usually go to Ace Hardware or Home Depot.
   

2. 
   

3. I found that many of the Ford and GM bolts are the same. They all purchased from same hardware providers. Easy to search some of those other large websites such as Classic Industries, CJ Pony Parts, etc.

Rubber Parts

1. I didn't know that Rock Auto carried so many rubber parts. I ordered  new ashtray, glove box, license plate and trunk bumpers. I already bought hood bumpers elsewhere, but Rock Auto was cheaper.
   

Sheet Metal

1. Businesses like Auto Body Specialties, Auto Metal Direct, Auto Rust Technicians, and Sherman and Associates manufacture and supply sheet metal for most Mopar body styles, and are a direct source for replacement panels.
   

1. David Grant Ltd. He was an employee of customizer Gene Winfield in his younger days. He wrote a book named "Custom Cars and Hot Rods Of Gene Winfield". His shop is up by me in Santa Clarita. He mostly does expensive foreign sports cars, I think because those customers have deeper pockets. But I have seen him do custom work on '30's & '40's cars as well.

Suspension

1. Hotchkis, Just Suspension and Performance Suspension Technology deal specifically in suspension components. Reilly Motorsports Alterktion  (front), and Street Lynx (rear) offer suspension kits.
   

Seems like every time I want a Moog part, I have to go searching for the part number, so I can then use the number to search for a low price (prices on Moog parts can vary by a factor of 2 between parts places). Found this list on-line:MOOG Suspension part numbers for Mopars
