Gary,

I currently am working on my 3rd body off frame. (72 TR6).

Since the project will take at least 3 to 4 years (at least), I look to the 
winter sales for the best prices.

I have never used the TRF club since I get my parts in large bunches, not 
something every month.

For this project I have made a spreadsheet with the part I need, TRF part # 
and price, Moss part # and price, VB part # and price and other part and 
price for those parts that the big 3 dont have available.

I scan Ebay, Craigslist and VTR's classifieds for those good deals that come 
along during my free time.

I also use this list as well as the 6 pack list to ask around for 
those "special" parts that dont seem to appear anywhere. Usually a member has 
the part or knows where to go to get that part.
