Mike,

First thing I'd do is get involved with one of the clubs. Club 
classifieds are a good way to find parts.

Second, there's a pretty good vendor's list at 
http://www.planethoustomamx.com. I'm pretty sure South Texas AMC is on 
that list (the website is http://southtexasamc.tripod.com if it's not). 
Andre Jacobs runs that business and I've been very happy with the used 
sheet metal I've gotten from him so far.

Third, the Kenosha History Center is putting on a show near the end of 
July next year. Vending has been great both times I've been there. More 
info can be found at 
http://www.kenoshahistorycenter.org/content/events4.html (I think AMO 
has the actual registration form posted on their site at 
http://www.amonational.com). AMO's national meet is the weekend after 
the 4th of July in Denver next year and if it's anything like this 
years, there will be plenty of vending.
