Dart parts

I stoped in to visit a Mopar friend yesterday. I saw the garage door open and a 69 coronet 500 vert sitting on the lift. he is a real mechanic type guy, has built from scratch many GM's and quite a few Mopars. when he finishes one, he has lost all interest in it and sells it.
he has bout finished a 70 swinger, BB added, Wildwood discs, perfect paint. etc. he remarked how he is so burnt out. how the GM parts are SOoo much more affordable than the Mopar stuff. how just new parts like a parts store fuel pump was junk. everything thing is either junk or stupid high, or both!!!!wellllll yea!!!!
but, there are SOooo many more reproduction parts available now vs couple decades ago. expensive of course too. and it makes since that A body repop parts are the cows tail.
I guess that's life!
