I too live in Virginia.. Actually Richmond.. I have a few places that we scout for parts and if you are in this area, we would be happy to give you some tips. There is a place here that refinishes wheels but you can also find some stock ones if you like.. Just let us know and we will do what we can to help..

My Son negotiated a deal on a 78 300D for his 12th Birthday. She is rough but we drive her... I told him he had a set of Glow Plugs to learn how to install soon..
