Seeing is how the F-14 tomcat has been retired, does anyone know where i could get a fuselage of it? or atleast the cockpit? (no i'm not a terrorist, just a big fan of the plane)

To late. They scraped them already. The US is desperate to prevent thr Iranians from getting there hands on F-14 Parts.

It is very probably that they would not be auctioning off parts for F14. Often US gov moth ball decommissioned ships and plane. Then in times of need they would just bring it back into service.
Other times, they rather destroy it than give away military secrets or working parts ... just in case.
Ex: When USA left Iran, they had to leave behind few F14 or F15 at their airbase. They no longer fly but they (the planes) may fly again, if they (the Iranian) could get their grubby Iranian hands on spare parts.

Beings as the only other country that uses F-14's is Iran (from the days of the Shah), and there has been a problem/worry about spare parts ending up there, the government had decided (I believe it was about 2 months ago) to destroy the aircraft rather than part it out.
So, NO would be the answer to your question.

The SU-47 is an experimental plane. The U.S. will have the JSF and the F-22. The F-22 has already had combat trials and has logged a 114-0 kill ratio even when going up against 4 F-18s at a time.

Possibly the mojave airplane graveyard on hwy 58 near the mojave airport....I don't know if they would sell a military part or not but if you are in the market for a jumbo jet.

Check with government sites that auction off scrap or demilitarized military items---would be pretty cool to have some of that awesome plane sitting in the rec room.
