Antique auto parts

[codyyy]

I know this is a long shot but does anyone know of a place to buy parts for an antique Ford in the San Diego area? I'm working on my dad's '29 Model A and need parts but don't feel like ordering them. Thanks.

Pomona swap meet is the first thing that comes to mind. And look the next one is this weekend.

There's a Model T club up here, I'm pretty sure they cater to Model T's and Model A's.

You might be surprised, but .. Napa.

I got a battery for it from Carquest although big deal on that one, it's a 6 volt battery. I need the battery tray plate, perhaps a battery cable clamp (again, I can probably fab one up), and a carburetor gasket kit/rebuild kit.
I should just walk into Napa and ask them what parts they have that directly pertain to that car, as in replacement, not universal parts.
Other than that, an inner tube and tire would be good, perhaps the driver's windowframe wood.

they should have the carb kit and gaskets, the windowframe stuff will require a specialist. There are several in the area.

I was actually going to weld a plate onto the battery tray, my welder is ready and I have some 14 gauge that would work, however I found out that part is like 3 bucks.
