this is wonderful. my project thus far has been primarily done through ebay. i am in iraq so cant do much for swapmeets and what not. i am trying to build a bang for the buck truck that looks good as new. here is a list of all i have bought from ebay and the prices in which i acquired them.

flamed billet valve covers and air cleaner:
retail-over 200 ebay-39.50
b&m z-gate shifter
retail- 102 in jegs ebay-60.01
holley 750 carb and edelbrock fuel pump
retail-an arm and a leg ebay-114.49
one 1970 1/2 longbed chevy pickup in decent shape
retail-iwas expecting atleast 1500 ebay-710.50


i just did the math and if i would have ordered all products new and not gotten a steal on my truck, i would have spent 1200 dollars more on this project already. now i am not saying i want to build a complete ebay vehicle, but i am going to say it is the best resource to hunt down a great deal. the numbers dont lie. i have freed up 1200 bucks with just four ebay purchases. thats what i am talking about. just note that i am not a cheap guy. i have shelled out the dough for some other nice pieces on my truck. elelbrock eps permastar intake/gasket set $232 at jegs. b&m 2000 stall converter was $102 at jegs. have all new accel spark plug wires and lots of little goodies on this truck.
