Re: Parts prices up & coming down, whats your opinion?
NOS stuff it rare and getting more so. I believe the prices for NOS will continue to accelerate. May be at a different rate than we have gotten used to but the prices will continue upwards.
Reproductions may come down a little but they are still re-pops and subject to the chance someone will build a better one or just copy the copy. I have a disdain for reproduction as they are typically so sloppy manufactured. The manufacture couldn't even get the 4 holes for the support bracket, under the steering column, in a straight line or the supports behind the tail light with the correct back spacing distance.
That said the re-pop parts are keeping our hobbies going and a lot of nice trucks are being restored with them. Without them NOS parts would be sky high.
NOS parts are still inexpensive compared to Corvettes.
Keep it fun.
Cheers
