Thank you all for the favorable comments guys!
Most of the parts I've bought were quite simple to order, the big outlets like yearone do international shipping on a regular basis - of course shipping and toll do add to the original price of the parts. On the other hand I've often encountered non-business-sellers who will not ship overseas for reasons I cannot follow. And of course I've not tried to buy bulky things like wheels or tires in the US.

Thanks for the advice concerning paint. I'm planing to assemble the doors, the fenders and the hood again for final paint, so there will be no difference in color or brightness on the individual panels. My painter also says he'd rather paint the whole side of a car at one time as opposed to each panel individually .

I do have a question concerning one detail: Should the fenderbolts you can see when the hood is opned be painted or not? I've seen them painted on some cars and not painted on others so which way to go?
