Thanks for the info, Tom. I live in the area so I know both of them well.
All Foreign tends to be pretty pricey and only seems to cater to the
high-end recent vintage stuff. They've never had anything I've been looking
for. There are several others in the same area as well. Cap City Auto Parts
is another good one.
