Most of the hobby kits I've seen are pretty pricey in themselves. What exactly are you looking for? A lot of us have parts and don't charge "ebay" prices.

When I was veeeeeeeery poor (not that I'm rich now) My 71 was missing the blue colored lenses for the dash lighting. Unwiling to pay massive amounts for such an insignificant (but noticable) piece, I went to the Dollar Store and bought a blue Tupperwarish pan, pulled out the scissors, and made my own covers. They worked great and nobody knew the difference (until now, of course).

A great man once said, "Necessity is a mother ^&%$#@!"
