http://shop.docrebuild.com/ They only make "Stencil Kits" for 68 to 72 cars. I have a 73 and I purchased my stencils from Dr. Rebuild and pieced together the rest of the kit (Paints, Stencil Ink, Grease Pencils) from Quanta.

If you know your frame part number and approximate frame date code, you can order it from Quanta as part of a kit. I'm doing that for 1978. Check to determine if the frame stencil was sprayed with white or yellow paint...it changed sometime in the early 1970's.

I really do admire you folks tenacity for completing the intricate details on your cars. I'm assuming this is for presenting the car for NCRS judging.
But, I've always been curious about something: If you are truely preparing the car as it was when coming from the factory, why don't you also replicate all the protective plastic coverings, paper floor mats, etc. etc. like it was prepared for shipment from the factory? I've always heard that stuff the dealers did to the cars (adding mirror/rack) was a NO-NO for NCRS judging. So, why is it OK to not have the 'prep/packaging' materials which the dealer removed?
Just wondering....

Dealer installed options were not on the new car check list.

The NCRS judging standard is for a new Corvette as it would have appeared to the first owner following any required GM dealer preparation. GM had a check list of items the dealer was required to complete on each new vehicle before turning the car over to the first owner.
Dealer installed options were not on the new car check list.
