Re: light bulb finally went off today: parts vendors
I had high hopes for CW Moss, having been referred by a couple guys at a car show. So, I headed down there. I had a half dozen common items on my shopping list.
Big place, 3 different shops in one - show room, parts shop, and hot rod shop. Most of their Model A parts selection was blemished knock-off tail light lenses. Ok, whatever. Some generic repop stuff on the shelf, like you'd find at any of the online suppliers.
I found two things I needed. Didn't see paint anywhere, so I went up to the parts counter.
"Do you have a can of Ford engine green paint?"
"Huh?"
"Ford engine green paint."
"What's that?"
"The paint for Model A engines and transmissions."
"Nope. Don't have anything like that. You should try one of the local paint stores."
Really? This is the local Model A supplier?!
