Going to move this over to the C3 General section but if there are specific parts you are looking for, post up a Wanted to Buy thread in the C3 Parts for Sale/Wanted section of the forum and list the parts you need.

There is a ton of knowledge here, if this group cant lead you to what you need, it might not exist

Welcome! Very nice ‘Vette you have there. Sound advice on the parts stuff. Lots of folks here that can help either point you into the right direction, or who may even have what you need. I’ve found that forum members usually can offer better deals on parts they have than outside folks just trying to make a buck.
