I have bought a lot from The Last Detail (TLD). They have the best prices around and their service is unbelievable!!

Their website is OK. Their catalog is pretty weak! |b|But,|/b| I usually call them to place my order. They are great. Give them a try!!

When I did my restoration over a year ago I dealt with a drop shipping compant called Valentynes, had really good luck, basically you use the Ecklers book, get the part numbers and they will quote you a price, saving between 3 and like 20% on Ecklers, give them a try, besides the girl on the other end of the phone sounds like OH BABY :-Þ

Vette(s): 1976 bright yellow T-Top purchased new 6/76. For many years I had an '81 daily driver but sold it several years ago for a front drive ricer. Now the Mrs. has a '95 coup & I still have the '76.
I've had good luck buying parts thru Contemporary Corvette in Bristol, PA. 800-367-8388. The guys there are knowlegeable & easy to deal with. Sorry no Pam.
I had Corvette Paramedics in NJ redo my trailing arms and they did a great job!
