I am looking for a set of rear hatch struts for my '82.  I have found 2 sources and would like to know if anyone has dealt with either in the past,  good or bad.   
They are "Lou's Stuff"       http://www.autopartsbylou.com/   and
 "The Parts Store"            http://search.stores.ebay.com/The-Parts-Store.
Or, maybe someone  can suggest  another source they've had good dealings with. 
Thanks,  Mike

I checked the Bairs site but they don't have it.  Have you checked Corvette Central or Mid-America Corvette?  You can google them for an address.

Good luck!

Hi Mike,
I and several others have ordered a set  from Corvette Pete. He's located in Napa Ca. I believe he had 50 sets made. They are a perfect fit, and work very well. You might want to check out this link.
