Greetings,

I am a new corvette owner and I have a 1976 corvette. It runs and is in fair shape but needs plenty of TLC. I figured I would start with the interior so I was wondering if anyone new of any good vendors/websites/stores where I could find dashes, consoles, radios and the like.
Any advice and tips are welcome!

There's AL Knoch, and there's Corvette America (now owned by Top Flight). All of the other vendors buy the majority of interior parts from them. For carpet, I think it's ACC and Al Knoch.

You might also get lucky and score some used pieces. What do you need?

Corvette America = topflightautomotive.com
A Pa. company that makes most of the interior products sold by other vette vendors.

ACC = Auto Custom Carpets = accmats.com
A Al. company that has been making carpets for many years and is well respected in the hobby.

Corvette Central = corvettecentral.com
A Mi. company that sells almost anything that you'll need for your vette.

Wow, I didn’t know there were so many websites. I was only familiar with top flight and ecklers.

I’ve already replaced the radiator with an aluminum one. The next big thing that needs done is a new floor pan on the passengers side. Would it be best to replace both sides or just the one? I have new floor insulation and carpet on a list from Ecklers already.
