One question/concern of mine, which I've recently brought up in another thread...is that the quality of available new parts/components can be a bit variable - and it pays to look/ask around, and/or to rehab old original parts when practical. I'd like to gain more insight on this and am hoping that you'll chime in as you make progress. Thanks!

Good to know on the gas. I'll try that for sure. I have a couple of pieces of gas lawn equipment I can try it on before messing with my hot rod mower. (27hp, 10"wide tires, posi)
Parts quality is aways a give and take. I'm a bit selective when it comes to critical components, but most cases I'm shopping price. After all it's the name of our YouTube channel. Budget Outlaws. I've had very few failures over the last 20 years due to the quality of a 944 part.
I'm sure plenty of people will say that they only use xxx brand or xxx company. And I do like to pick good companies to work with. Returns are sometimes necessary. For example, the hatch strut that had a bad clip has already been replaced by the Vendor and it's fine.
I will say Pelican has been my first goto for parts purchases.
