After looking around for almost a year for a 2 wheel drive donor (not a real high ticket item here in the Northwest) I started looking around for parts I wanted on my Rodster®. Here's a list of resources I used, if there is anyone who would like to add to the list your more than welcome to email me and I'll add it with credits to you.
Rodster® Street Rod . . . Henry's main site, the place to really begin. A lot of great information and resources!

Cold Air Intake . . . K & N - Product FIPK, Part Number 57-3028 Gain 5.58 HP @ 3963 RPM. Console. . . ya know that center console that the lid is always broken . . . this might work for ya if your gonna keep the bucket seats. (have the supplier but just haven't posted it yet 01-01-06)
Dash and dash lights Stylinconcepts - paintable fiberglass dash, fits 82-93 S-Series P/U and Blazer (next winter project for me). Streetbeat - Indiglo - white face w/blue back lighting.
Decals, Flames, and Pin Stripes . . . FastFlames.com - magnetic flames that can be put on or taken off at any time. DecalZone - Yikes, I spent one whole day on here. eDecals.com - vinyl graphics & lettering, again to0 much stuff to list, you'll just have to spend some time on here.
Gas Caps . . . if your thinking about putting the gas fill outside the trunk you might want to take a look at these . . . Hot Rods USA - Cool Cap! and it really is! Bat Inc. (British American Transfer) - Aston & Monza caps available in polished aluminum or chrome plated brass.
Headers . . . Hedman - There are several brands available but I chose these (and the price was right!).
Lights . . . ahhhh I had fun with this one, everything from break/signal to under the frame. The Taillight King - I can't say enough about AJ & Betty, a great place for those "special" lights your lookin' for. The Filling Station - spent hours on here, another great place for those special lights. G.E.M. Street Rod - lots of stuff. StreetBeat and Stylinconcepts - both of these are good places to look for parts. See "Mirrors" below for links to sites. CFR Lights - See the section on Courtesy Lights - LED energy efficient lighting. JC Whitney - of course.
Mirrors . . . StreetBeat or Stylinconcepts - Speed Glow Turn Signal M3 Style.
Paint . . . now that you're broke from building the car if you can still afford a paint job this is a great place to look at colors . . . autocolorlibrary.com. Painted by Dale Berntson Olympia, WA 360.236.9711 (a great guy to work with and goes the extra mile).
