Arm rest
Just got an 81' and of course need a lot of stuff. Mostly misc. but was looking for input on best way to get a few key parts that I need.
Passenger mirror
Armrest both sides
passenger rocker panel
I am new to the vette crowd and bought this kinda spur of moment. Been workiing day and night on it for a week now mostly getting it running. Carb, valve adjust, intake gasket, header/collector gaskets, electrical gremlin and the wooper that really messed me ALL up was a slipping harmonic balancer. Try timing, carb tuning and valve adustment with that problem. Luckily did not damage any valves or pistons.
Anyway, any suggestions on the interior and exterior parts? Are all available after market?
Thanks

Here is a partial list of aftermarket providers:
MidAmerica
Corvette America
Corvette Central
Ecklers
Dr. Rebuild
Zip
Do some price shopping, however generally the price will not vary much between the first 4 listed.
All have websites.

If the are rests are there you can fix them. the plastic inserts in mine were broken. I used a 2 part acrilic plastic filler to fill them in and then redrilled the holes with the little metal repair insert ecklers sells. Be there forever now.
