Ok going to start to replace the interior panels in my 76. Any suggestions on a good vendor?

I think Willcox uses corvette America parts. You should use his 10% discount to forum members, he also has sales on interior parts bought as a kit.

I went with Corvette America. But as far as your reasonable comment, your either related to Bill Gates or your in the Twilight Zone. After shelling out over 8 bills for a left and a right door panel, I don't need to hear the word "reasonable". And that was just the beginning. I'm now into her more in parts than I initially paid for her, with no end in sight.

Of course Sarge, you old timer you, I'm a newbie in the Vette world, but flashbacks of sticker shock in the replacement parts arena I am still going through but what I can tell you for sure, is this Vette of mine gives my wife a run for the money in the ability to suck up and wish away a paycheck faster than you can clear a fart

Yep, just can't beat Wilcox for price and customer service. I ordered the entire interior for my 73 when they had a 20% off with shipping allowance deal going. One of the door panels had a defect. Tommy swapped it out in short order, hassle free...

as far as sticker shock on parts, that is what corvette parts do to you. But, get an old BMW OR JAG, and see what that parts pricing does to you.

Just did my '76 last year. Did the entire interior except for dash panels. Went with Willcox. They have great sales if you watch. In fact, they did the seats in my '69 too. Better than new.

Go through Wilcox because you'll get Wilcox after-the-sale service.
