All the vendors can help you with nearly all the parts. You just need to know that the 58 has some 58 only items regarding spindle lengths and the access door design. Most of everything else is the same as other years. Have you studied the 58 AIM door section?

edit: go to the vendor catalogs (like Corvette Central) and type in "door" for 1958 and see what all comes up. You might get a better idea on what is available and what years the items fit.

Door stuff starts at page 83.

Some parts aren't reproduced so you'll have to find used parts. Try ebay or posting WTB in the parts section.

Wish I could remember the guys name in SoCal that has several warehouses of used parts for C-1 through C3.
I think it's Solkouski or similar. Dave is his first name I believe.

David Sokolowski is correct and the NCRS Driveline will have his number or if you search the forum you may find his number.

Pacemaker@57, you didn't mention what state your car is in such as project or driver...you want to start out knowing that your fiberglass door(s) are in fact 1958 doors. The doors are another one year only design even though they look just like all the others.

I have placed a call to Dave Solkouski and left my number for him to call me.
As far as the car status, just finished the paint with Silver Blue and white coves, charcoal interior.
Frame off and dipped painted and stencilled, motor, tranny, diff, exhaust, fuel, suspension, brakes, stainless, and chrome all done and back on the car.
Dash pad, seats, door panels, elect, and carpet left to do.
Thank you again for your help. I do appreciate it.
I did see page 83 from paragon and just printed it off. Thanks you very much.

I may even have a few left over door items such as a 58 latch and a door frt channel reinforcement...maybe more. I will have to look and see what I have. Like I stated earlier, make sure your inner door fiberglass shell is in fact 58. You don't want to buy 58 door panels and when ready to install, they don't fit! Bill
