Default Re: Parts prices are killing our hobby

It's all relative! Thank goodness there are sources/suppliers/vendors that keep the old Fords alive and driveable. As long as the government stays out of the way, and people can drive their own vehicles, the hobby will still be with us. I thank the internet for bringing out parts and vehicles out of the barns and back on the market. I know it used to be fun and adventure to search through endless flea markets looking for non-existant parts, but it sure got old and expensive to come home empty handed. The days of J. C. Whitney and Warshawsky's auto catalogs are long gone. We have great vendors and availability of parts that were impossible to find at any price in the 50's and 60's. I frequently buy and sell individual parts that exceed the original price I paid for my '37 Coupe. Keep those Fords running!
