    I see people(probably newbies) ask all the time "where can I get this or that part?", so I thought it would be a good idea to make a list of places where we can get parts for our cars. This list is of the bigger places to buy parts from, not your local Mom & Pop shop, but don't forget about them. Many parts can also be found here in the classifieds for those of you that don't know. Some may say this is not necessary, but oh well. Hopefully it helps somebody.:Handshake
    Let me know of any places that I missed and I will add it to the main list.

    Advance Auto Parts
    AutoZone
    Auto Krafters
    Carquest
    Craigslist
    Ebay
    Forum Member Craig Selvey
    JC Whitney
    Jegs
    Kragen
    Melvin's Classic Ford Parts
    Napa
    O'Reilly
    RockAuto Parts
    Schucks

    Pep Boys has been removed from the list since I did a search for "Ford Maverick" and not even one part was found. Thanks Gene.

    I was waiting to hear back from a couple of members before I listed them as "parts sources". Don't want to list everybody that sells a part here or there, but people who have a lot of parts. Never heard from the other one or two people, so I guess Craig will be the only one on the list.

    Member Karina in Colorado got me a very nice hood and shipped it Greyhound. He has a site called My Mustang Store with some parts listed. And of course Craig and Jeff in Ga have helped me out with several other parts I needed.

    Oh and Karina just got in a Sprint I think. He said he was expecting one and I saw one on his site. In case anyone that way is looking for one.

    I saw he has been online, but maybe he's just not chatting in any threads. Yes, he is one of the few that has and sells a lot of parts, but he hasn't responded back to me so I didn't put him on the list.

    I've found that CJ Pony parts has pretty good prices on all the mustang odds and ends that work on our cars.
