Good day, all.

Any suggestions on Corvette salvage yards (who/where) I can contact in regards to hard to find OE parts??? Ah, the joys of owing a '68. Thanks in advance. BK3

I've sifted through Dream Restorations' shelves before, they may have what you are looking for. http://www.dreamrestorations.com/

Have you tried Doc Rebuild?
