Default interior

I am restoring the interior of my 77 corvette. Where would everyone recommend buying weatherstripping, front carpet, seat belts, and other interior parts.

I am from alberta canada so shipping kills me on allot of places.

Any ideas?

I have been buying from Ecklers, Bairs and now all my interior is coming from Wilcox. Most of them will ship by mail, parcel post. Anything that is too big get it shipped Fed-ex ground. My weatherstriping i ordered from corvette-rubber.com

Ecklers for the most of your interior parts. Seat covers, foam from Al Knoch (I had them make up custom seat covers in two tone leather - blue/tan). I also have a '77 and got my parts from these two suppliers. Sometimes they can send it via US Post which is much less and duties sometimes does not get charged. I'm in Barrie, Ontario. Yes the duties sgenerally will be there but today the dollar value is on your side much more than when I did mine. Both suppliers were great with their service and product. Good Luck.

I bought it all from Willcox, great prices and customer service. The quality is good too.

I restored my 77 and got the interior parts from Wilcox (seat covers & foam, door panels, dash, console, etc.) and Al knoch (carpet). The weatherstripping I got from Wilcox (2 yrs ago) is hard as a rock and needs to be replaced already.
What color interior do you have? I have an extra set of seatbelts (new) in 1977 Dark Blue (one retractor style).
