I'm in need of a front clip for a 79. Car has been converted to 80 body style so that will work too. fenders, front bumber, just about everything from the doors forward except hood. Also could use radiator support and headlight support. Let me know if you know where anything is. Thanks.

I work at a junkyard...we've got a few places in MI on our computer(guh?) If I can I'll grab a phone number and an address for you tomorrow/next day. I'll even look to see if somebody has one(probably won't be local since I'm far from it...but last ditch)

For what its worth, when I was looking for a complete front clip when I purchased mine, the prices were pohibitive, yours being a bit newer maybe better. There is a place down towards Madison, I believe its Edgerton, called TriCity Corvette, if there still in business, they had many corvette parts. I was dealing with Corvette Recyclers out of Michigan when I did mine, but finally just ended up buying a full fron surround from Ecklers, including the innner fenders and hood deleat, cause I had the LT-1 hood, but now wish I would have taken the L-88, engine always semms to get larger, don't know WHY????????

Hope that helps

I looked at a place called TracyVette down by Roseville. They gave me a total of around $1700 of every piece i needed. that was with shipping. i'm gonna try junk yard searching and see what i can find. hopefully something. My car is about the same color. looks nice. viper yellow.
I've seen a bunch of sites, but still looks like a $2000 tag to get it all. |ohwell|

Ask for Mark

He bought something from me the other day, and supposedly their yard deals primarily with Corvettes. Hope he can help you out!

Tried Corvette Recyclers and they want $3000 for a replacement front end. Thats kinda high i'm thinking.. Trying to sell a camaro to pay for a front end, so around $1900 is what i'll have. Tracy Corvette in Detroit can get me everything (one piece, etc.) shipped to me for $1700. Haven't called any junkyards, but thats in the future. Thanks for the replies guys!
