:welcome: from :canada:

Way cool to see these cars were produced in SA, they were very popular in Canada and of course the US. Not surprising that any locals don't want to give up their parts hoards. Good luck with your project, start a build thread so we can all follow along.
Lots of great people here and tons of knowledge to tap.

Unfortunately, between shipping and import fees it will probably be expensive to bet parts from the other side of the world too.

Tx for the welcome from Canada! Am I correct in understanding that the bulk of the first many A-Bodies at the time were manufactured in Canada & exported to USA? I was hooked onto the Netflix series "Rust Valley Restorers" That's like Mopar Heaven!! I thought that it was just a TV show but was i surprised to know that Rust Valley is so real. Would love to visit someday. You never know, probably live therein Canada someday.

Incidentally, I'm considering relocating. Canada or USA, even Australia or New Zealand. I guess having Mopar DNA in my garage, the Americas will be a better option hey?! LoL!! Sadly, my beautiful country SA, has been on a downward spiral for the past many years. Its become stressful to live here. Crime is on an all time high. Just so heartbreaking cos its an amazing country with amazing people but those in authority are milking this country dry. And with the global economic crisis, it definitely adds to it. We're taking a huge knock. So yeah, Canada & USA are my top 2 choices to relocate to. I've been applying for jobs online but no luck yet. Holding thumbs though.

Back to the calming aspect of life....my Charger!!! I've tried purchasing a complete grill with bezels etc from someone in Edmonton a few years ago but the shipping costs were crazy, so yes ur correct. Wish it wasn't the case cos I'd purchase everything I need from the Lands of Mopar. I'm loving the positive vibe and support on FABO. U guys are top notch!!!
