AMD for metal. There are many suppliers of everything else depending on what you need. Yearone is great for on-stop shopping, but you can sometimes save money going to the sources and buying direct, like Legendary Interiors.. A quick internet search will bring them all to light.

Mopars are not as supported as Chevys and Mustangs, so some stuff you will still have to scrap for on the used market like eBay and Craigslist.

Lastly, the "Parts Wanted" section on this site and Moparts have been good to me.

By "restoration" do you mean everything "like new" or are you shooting more for a "driver"? You can't buy front seats/tracks or most grill components (so far) through the aftermarket. Some of the trim (along the top of the door for example) can also only be found used. A lot of the new reproduction parts can be expensive so what is your budget? As mentioned, AMD is probably your best bet for any sheet metal. There are several vendors here on the forum that can give you good prices. I typically use Legendary for seat covers and headliners but I buy them from Dante (who is also a member here). BE&A for almost everything else.

Sarcasm detector, that's a real good invention.

hello & welcome  :cheers:
Yes, what he said!

Beautiful car! I love the '68 model. nice trucks in the background too. I always find parts just by hitting the local swap meets. also, Mopars at the Strip & events like it are great places to find good deals. wish I could be more help.  :shruggy:

If you are missing most of the interior anyway and the body is solid....perfect candidate for the Late model charger chassis graft....
