GTX Matt & others: have the usual parts places- NAPA, Auto Zone, O'Reilly's, etc. I live in Houston-large market- just irritated having to order some minor parts on a regular basis. Had an old school parts place called Miller's; they always had a supply of the old stuff at hand (fan belts, gaskets, etc). Closed up a few years ago. I've got extra engine gaskets (oil pan, valve cover, thermo) to get me through minor repairs or replacement. Didn't think about getting extra brake shoes & pads. Bottom line is, as stated, can only use so many parts in a lifetime. Well, I knew what I was getting into buying a 1 year model only classic car. But, throttling her up on the roads makes all that melt away.Thanks for the input guys.
