Check Corvette America, Top Flight Automotive.
They still manufacture them.
At least they did a couple years ago, when I bought all the new interior panels from them for my 73.
If they don’t have them, reach out to Al Knoch Interiors they might have them as well.

I've got a driver's side kick panel with a small crack way up high where you don't see it. But fits to 77. I'm thinking 78 up is different, not sure what's different.
it's black. Let me know if your interested.

Thanks man but it won’t fit. Found one here from a 76. but couldn’t make it work without serious cutting. I think I’ll just make one. I do have a carpenter workshop after all

Sounds good. Wasn't sure of the difference. Thought I'd offer.

And it is finally done. Yes, I have to sort out drivers kick panel but in my mind this is a job done.

Date started: December 12th
Date finished: February 25th
Money spent: approx. 200€ (215$)

Is it all perfect? No.
Is it all straight? No.
Were there any mistakes? Of course.
Am I proud and happy? Damn sure.

Wow, the upholstery looks amazing.
It appears to be flawless in your pictures.
Very well done.
I hope my new upholstery comes out looking as good as yours.
