I'd chose a salvager what would be convenient for you to pull parts from...use car-part.com, talk to a local salvager in your neighborhood...or in a rust-free location like nevada or arizona if you have an inexpensive means of transport...al lewis trucking is quite reasonable~

there is vocal recognition software if you don't mind sounding like a retard`~ personally love to type on my IBM M-30 clicky keyboard like a typewriter big and heavy does not slip...takes as much abuse as a typewriter would...made in America~
