Parts for restorations

[19Fordy]

It does seem that the good old days of plentiful parts are fading away.
However, let's hope that the "hoarders" will decide to "let go" of parts they really don't need and will never use.

As the old guard dies off, there will be more and more "original" parts coming available. There will be an oversupply of good, original parts and old (well made) reproduction parts. Just stay active and try not to die before the "rhapsody". There is a GREAT DAY A COMIN'!!!!

I dunno about that. When an "old guard" passes away most of his offspring is late middle aged and have no idea what all that "junk" is. I suspect either the landfill or the scrap man deals with it. I believe restorations of early V8 vehicles is tapering off fast as parts and decent project cars get almost impossible to find. Even folks that have a desire for these vehicles get smaller in number daily. I know this is a very pessimistic attitude but sometimes we must be realistic.
