where did you buy your parts?

pulled of the cover on my other pumpkin this weekend that one had 3.42 gears in it so i pulled it out ill probley start sanding and painting it today really wish i had a sand blaster but o well. also discovered that my old one has the rear shocks that you can raise and lower so i might pull that out too and clean them up a bit my other one just has leafs so that wont cut it lol. as far as my motor goes ive made up my mind i think ive found a decent running 350 that ill put in there for now then save up once i get back to work and build my motor as i get money id hate to have an awesome motor and no cash for paint or body work lol ill add some pics later today of my somewhat slow progress thanks for all the input guys i appreciate it

I wanted a solid street setup and didn't want to kill my budget on something I planned on replacing.
