In the engine compartment there was a guess a rubber piece covering the wheel it was held in place by plastic pop rivets. What is the real name for this part and any clue were i can buy it?

As i tear the car apart there is more and more and more things it needs.

Go to the Paragon website. Buy something and get their catalog. I find it to be almost like a repro/resto bible. They do as well or better than any of the other vendors. Besides, they support this forum.

I believe they are called dust shields and CorvetteCentral.com has them or Willcoxcorvette.com

Order the 76 assembly instruction manual (AIM) when you order your dust shields. The AIM shows their installation and lists the original GM part number for them. You're going to want the AIM when the time comes to put your car back together.

Yes and when you put it back together too

I am placing my third $50+ order in a month for finishing parts not one of which wouldn't fit in an envelope.
