I need a few items for my 68 charger.  Can somebody tell me the best place to look besides a junk yard?

I need the two gas tank strap bolts, a new vacuum canister for my headlights, and the set of those recessed bolts that hold the door latch on to the car body.  Are these items being reproduced?

thanks for the help.

Brings back memories.  When I was much younger, I went down to the chemistry machine shop and asked where I could get some or if I could get some made.  They said they would make them for a big boxes of donuts.  Still have them on my car. 

They also made me a laser chamber, but that didn't go on the car.
Who in their right mind would say

"The science should not stand in the way of this."? 

Science is just observation and hypothesis.  Policy stands in the way.........

Or maybe it protects us. 

I suppose it depends on the specific case.....

I have never heard of a "chemistry machine shop".  :scratchchin:
It's either one or the other, but not both.  :scratchchin:

We need (depend on) them to fabricate stuff for the field and the labs.  For me it is high vaccum assemblies with alloys and materials that are unreactive to the chemicals we work with.  When I find someone who is good at making these parts, I am very happy and stick with them. They make it possible for me to do my work.

I usually find what I need from these guys.


Just offering my opinion here.......but based on my experiences, those vendors you listed are last resorts.
