Welcome to the site. For parts, you won't find a better place than Z1 Enterprises, www.z1enterprises.com . Good luck with the project.

Welcome to the site.
As you can see from my signature I'm in Texas also.
It would be great to get a group of us together for a meet and ride.......that would require me finishing my bike 1st!;)

This bike was too far gone for a restoration....so making it a Rat Bike was the obvious choice.

Welcome, Ernest.

There are several preferred vendors of parts. Z1 is already mentioned. For OEM parts I've bought through www.ronayers.com several times.
