I appreciate your response! And I see where you guys are coming from with the repetitive posts. I imagine answering "what parts do I need" every day, year after year gets old, but hey, gotta make sure you "old timers" don't start slacking off and forgetting things!all joking aside though, I just worry that as a very young, new collector, there's so much I haven't learned from people such as yourself. I do keep a few guys that I can email/call anytime such as Paul Imbraguilio (one of the nicest guys I've met) and nick dailey, if I'm ever completely at a loss for info. It just surprised me how much activity was dying down I guess!
