Where would you order restoration parts? Any other good hints?

I have used Autokrafters. I'm pleased with their parts and service, but they are expensive.

Dearborn has always been good to me. I also use
www.macsautparts.com
www.melvinsclassicfordparts.com (I might have this link wrong?)
And a new member to the market is www.concoursparts.com

Concours Parts is what was originally Obsolete Ford Parts. Ford sued em for copyright infringement because their company name had "ford" in it...[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img]

Yeah, Dearborn Classics has a ton of great stuff. I ordered some interior parts for my '64. Kinda expensive though, but quality parts.

Actually fxcomet "Classic Auto Parts Inc." at www.classicautoparts.com was "Obsolete Ford Parts" You are correct about the legal issues they had. Someone was definately out to do them in. Concours Parts is a NEW player to the Fairlane/Torino market.

I have used Dearborn's, Auto Krafters and Concours. They are all very good companies to deal with. Also look for Denis Carpenter Reproductions for some of the soft items. Dearborns has begun doing some reproductions too. pretty good work.

If you are looking for weatherstrip go to www.weatherstripspecial.com Their prices for Dennis Carpenter stuff is way cheaper than AutoKrafters. Cheaper shipping too!
