3 years to be exact. I survived cancer and finally can wrap my head around getting this 65 on the road.
What parts vendors are you guys finding reliable these days? Since the covid deal the "force" was disturbed with closings & sell outs. Whos left for us to depend on?

Congrats on the good news about your health.
My recent experience: Zip is hanging in pretty well. Keen remains solid. Corvette Central seems solid as well. Top Flight's mediocrity doesn't seem to have improved or deteriorated.
Live well,

I have recently found Keen's pricing to be a bit lower. they don't always have what the big guys do, but I have gotten "out of stock" parts from Keen in the past. I give them first try now.

Congratulations on your win! I just recently lost a friend to cancer, he was only 60. I second Zip, and Corvette America. If they have the parts in stock I usually have them in one or two days.

My '65 remains in storage awaiting restoration pending completion of our new house build so I'm right behind you. I've been loyal to Zip for over a decade and while others have faded away Zip has, so far at least, remanded steadfast. Good luck with your project.
