What do the discount vendors do for the long term health of our hobby?
     They find the fast moving parts and buy them cheap and resell them for less?
     Do they introduce anything new or have that hard to find obsolete or NOS piece or go and look on a scrap van for that odd piece you can't find?
       I would just straighten the shroud and go on with your life.

Shroud was bent and somewhat rusted and although it was straightened and painted I might as well do this up right.  Advance Auto Parts may be able to get them, as they have some relationship with World parts, and they are local and may save me some shipping costs.  Has anyone got any pro or cons on World Parts.  I am not sure of their reputation and am deciding if I want to go that route or stick with our regular vendors.
