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.
Bob
