Dan, I have asked this question to the list before b/c I have had similar experiences finding split bus parts here in Austin. I have had good luck with the folks at Black Gold per Sammie's suggestion. I also like WW in CA because they will ship to my door. Some of the places here will charge you shipping if they don't stock the item, yet you still have to go pick it up. I don't know of anyone in SW Austin. Let me know if you find one. What parts are you looking for?

For the run of the mill mechanical parts I usually recommend Jack Wenk's Black Gold in Arlington. For the hard to find body parts for 67 and earlier and other unique vintage stuff usually recommend Wolfsburg West in CA. Sean Scott (think that's his name) at Vintage Parts in CA is also good. Have given you Wenk's ph # Wolfsburg West advertises in Hot VWs and Vintage Parts ph # is 1-800-898-8684. All of these guys use either FedX or UPS and can have you the stuff in short order.

I don't need anything specific I'm just frustrated with my current parts source. ----- Original Message ----- From: Conrad Klahn To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, February 23, 2008 3:10 PM Subject: [tcb] Re: Austin Parts source?
