Hi Don !
Glad to see yo have joined the group of "vette heads". Hopw to see you in Effingham in June. I get most of my stuff for my vette from MidAmerica Motor works. Mike Yager puts on a great gathering every year and is going to sponser a "C-3" Gathering in June. "Save the Wave"

Lifetime MemberHello Don,
Welcome to C3VR. You'll find the guys on this site are the best and you will get answers to all your questions. I too am restoring a 72. I just recently bought a complete total interior. I found a company in Georgia that gets most their interior parts from Corvette America. Their pricing was about 20% less than buying directly from Corvette America. I actually picked the parts up while at Corvettes at Carlisle from the Corvette America tent. If you would like a name or number just PM me and I'll be glad to send it your way. Also as many have already said check out the sponsoring vendors here as well. I wish you luck on your project. Have fun with it.

Best of luck with our project, sounds like you are well on your way to success. I enjoyed hearing the back story on your car. I gives me a great feeling when I hear about guys that have had cars stored for years them bring them back to life. Keep us posted.

Will do. And I've already had a chat with Rik. Great guy and very helpful with a question I had. I'll be doing business with him for sure. I'm dragging my feet, but photos are coming soon.
