Agreed, it seems like the market has swung toward buying new parts from overseas vs paying an American to rework your existing pieces. It amazes me what the guys like Mickey Thompson and Smokey Yunick were able to do 50 years ago, basically on their own. I know parts like Eagle rods are good, but I have some serious hang ups about sending that much coin to China
