The ultimate hot rod building link thread......You'll need these to build a car.

This is a thread to post links to parts and material suppliers. I know that I would not have found a lot of cool things without other people showing me the link. I think this could be a big help for a beginner such as myself. Hopefully we'll dig up some cool sites in the process. I think it would also be nice to give a small description with the link. If you got a cool site that will help with the supplies and parts needed to build a car, Post them here. It doesn't necessarily have to be a Hot Rod parts site or anything Like jegs or speedway. Just what ever you think would be helpful.

thanks!

They got a bunch of good stuff, all cloth wire for both primary and plugs, just a bunch of good stuff.

 

Hilarious.

 

Great website, everything is made per your order. I use this website all day long doing machine design. Best thing is that they also provide dimensionally correct CADD models for those CADD friendly people.

Request a desktop catalog or catalogs. In they total they are like 5 of the McMasterCarr catalogs.

 

Cool thread, Subscribed.
