Default Willcox the best

I'm new at this c-3 game. I was not sure who to use to have some work done. I sent in a shift plate, wiper switch plate and fiberoptic plate to Willcox to have them refinish the three pieces. They did a WONDERFUL JOB way better then I thought it would be. Everything I have recieved from Willcox is great.. And Hey Norm your the best. thanks for all the help I'm looking forward to having many many good years with my 69.. Thanks again Steve konjevich

Norm and the rest of the gang at Wilcox are the best. They practically helped me restore my C3.

After my 1st year in the hobby and trying out several vendors I have to agree and say that Wilcox is the best of all I have tried. The level of support, quality of products, shipping, and price has made them my default go to.

I have bought from all of the main vendors, but now try to buy from Wilcox whenever possible because of all of the helpful information I have gotten there. They are not just selling parts, but also support our hobby in a very big way.
THANKS!

I've been in this hobby for a long long time BUT I though Wilcox was a regular Chevy Dealer who acted like a broker and sold parts...

Years ago I redid the interiors on my 64 and 72 and ordered from Wilcox and what I received was Corvette America "first class stuff" drop shipped to my door...

Guess I better take a look at their web site and check them out again......

It's true Willcox is only a vendor, not a manufacturer of parts. There are tons of vendors, but a slim few manufacturers (LIC, Paragon, Corvette America, Al Knoch, are pretty much all the manufacturers).

Willcox used to be a huge Chevy dealership, but Ernie sold it all and just has the Corvette shop and vendor business now. He has forgotten more about Corvettes than most of us will ever know and has a fully restored '62 himself, and generally has 1 or 2 cars he is restoring in the shop from the ground up. It is a small operation which is good in many ways because when you call you either get Norm, Tommy, or Ernie (the owner) himself, and they all know their stuff! They do great work in the shop too, I have taken my car there, they did these seats and door panels.

Thanks for the info that they sold the dealership...

Like I noted they just plain "delivered" years ago when I first used them //top notch stuff
at very reasonable prices ...the Corvette America price was quite a "chunk" higher then what Wilcox charged me...
