Default corvette breakers??

Anyone know of any Corvette breakers where I might be able to lay my hands on a rear bumper emblem?

As I said on a previous thread , I have lost the "C" from the Corvette emblem and would rather just replace the C - you would never see the repair.

The paint is only a few weeks old and I am a bit nervous of removing the whole emblem in case I damage the paint If I can get the C , I can use the double sided stuff they use to attach the emblems just to stick the C to the broken emblem that is still in place.

Anyone with any contacts ?

eBay. You could also try contacting CorvetteMack through his store on eBay. Mack owns a Corvette salvage yard outside Atlanta. If he has what you want, he'll list it for you.

Gary Gruhala in DeSoto, MO. I'm pretty sure he had a box of random letters in the shop the last time I stopped in.

Probably a stupid question but how do I contact him through ebay? Do I need to find one of his lists and then contact the seller that way or is there a way to contact him by his name?
Sorry , not very Ebay experienced (pobably one of the only ones left on the planet!!)

I tried the number and got an answer machine - left a message but have had no reply - I don't suppose you live close enough to be passing the door at some point? Or do you know if they have an email or web site - not sure where to go with this one now.

thanks

I emailed Gary about a week ago, and I haven't heard from him. He might be out of town or busy with family stuff, he usually answers his voice mail within a day or two. If you don't hear from him early next week, give him another call.
