Parts are parts, but pieces are hard to find is a saying I learned while working on IMCA modifieds on weekly basis. I'm not entirely sure what it means, but I always took it to mean parts, being bigger and more available, were abundant, while pieces were smaller and less readily available, and therefore harder to find.
For the people looking for parts and pieces for their Aurora, Johnny Lightning and Auto World HO cars, Auto World has many parts AND pieces available, including rivets and other more difficult to find pieces. Of course not all parts and pieces will fit all chassis, but many of these were previously unavailable.
