Its sometimes called networking.

However, in this case.. I'd still call it luck..

In order to find stuff.. you need to "spread the word" that your looking. The advent of a multitude of online forums has helped somewhat, but when you really need a part.. your need to self advocate..

TO EVERYONE..

Despite the number of visitors to this site.. Apparently, not everyone knew that about this project..

Most did, but some of the MORE important local Rodders DID NOT.

BY chance, at Hershey this year, I mentioned to my friend "Rod" that I was working on the Recycled 40 Ford Woodie..

He asked what I needed, and as it turned out, he had it..

Most people wouldn't be so excited..

But as it turns out.. this was EXACTLY what I needed.. and was only 20 miles from home..

Its interesting, that Rod KNOWS everyone, he's connected.. and he's helping me locate other parts as well.




I am very fortunate..
