I really need a '66-'67 front sway bar but I was asking more for parts in
general.
I was having a bad day Saturday and when my local source (which is 1-1/2 hour
round trip away) gave me a hard time about returning a new in the box $20 part
after I had spent a metric ass-ton of cash there in the last 18 months. I
thought it would be a good time to start checking into my options.

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?
Jeff

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.

Thanks for the info and the offer. I don't need anything specific I'm
just frustrated with my current parts source.

Is there a good VW parts store in Austin, preferably on the Southwest
side, that keeps a fair amount of Split Bus parts in stock?
