I got parts from bugeyeguy for my recent refresh. I have yet to be disappointed. He gets his parts from other suppliers, but so far they are quality. The gauges are from SPEEDHUT, .. so you can get the same from there cheaper, BUT not with the faces that look so good. The cast iron water pump.. all you can get is aluminium from anywhere else. I did the conversion to Negative Ground and went with the GENERNATOR and fake regulator. The Genernator burned out it's diodes in less than 100 miles but bugyeyeguy made good and I got a replacement. <br clear="none">

I got the carpet set from AHSPARES. I chose the jaguar quality and it's really nice stuff but a pain to fit. The body panels were exact replacements. Can't say about the rest of their stuff. <br clear="none">
