I cannot believe the amount of time I've got into researching parts prices and quality.

I'm at the point where I'm starting to believe that this site is just confusing me more.

It's simple really. I want the best quality and I don't mind paying for that. I wish places like LMC and Brothers etc. would rate the quality of the parts that they offer.

HVAC hose replacement kit for example, one's 49.95 and one's 79.95. Is it suppose to be self evident that the more expensive one is better? How about telling us what the thickness of the material is or something?

On a side note, Dad had enough forethought to buy all nos upper and lower molding. It's been sitting around now for 20 years but it's still in the packages.

More pics coming this weekend.
