Hey 700, I never have any luck selling even hard to find parts. Heck some of the guys in my local club have needed parts, and I just gave em to em with the provision that they 1) use the part, 2) go on at least one short club event with us.
I plan on leaving at O dark thirty. No issues getting through traffic in LA. It will make for a long day but its only 3 1/2 hours each way. Easy peasey.
