Putting my 5K more door together more or less as cheaply as possibe....Have spent some money on fixing the brake system so far and have ordered a sending unit and other items to make it safely driveable.
However, on fluff items-like chrome and other appearance items, I've become a real miser.....Scrounging ebay and Craigslist....Checking the classifieds at here, Chevy Talk and the HAMB.....Also, placing wanted ads at the sites.
My latest (proud of myself) acquisition was an NOS Belair crest off Ebay for $2.25 plus $5.00 S&H:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190437635291 Normally, these things go for $30-$40 a set
So what's my point.....If you have the time to search around and wait, there are deals to be had.....A little patience and resourcefulness can go a long way toward saving your hard-earned cash.
If anyone else has little cost-cutting measures that they would like to share with the members, I sure would like to hear them.
