cruiserparts Yeah the classifieds here are incredible. A lot of times the parts are in the Pacific Northwest or California, which could be some scary shipping costs to Mississippi. I have been keeping an eye out, but it is good to know a concrete source. That free shipping is very enticing from...

I am looking to buy a 3:7 third member. Cruiserparts.net seems like the most reasonable $250 free S/H. Can anyone think of another site i should check? Thanks
