I'm only missing a few odd pieces now, a trans or two I already have from "the good old days" along with flywheels and a box full of linkage, shifters and z-bars.
Planning is important, its rare I need something "RIGHT NOW" because I like to look down the road several months. I was willing to wait till the market for cars was soft during the winter months and buy then rather than when everyone was in a buying mood.
