used or after market?
having Vette re-built after I wrecked the front end. So if used parts are avaible (suspension,and the undercarrage) should I use those if price and condition are right or go with after-market?
Thanks

aftermarket is oft cheaper than repair or OEM...plus you can have a bit of fun with it too. All depends on your budget, schedule and whatnot.

If you need a aftermarket front cap,let me know,I have a one piece Vanacor that I either need to sell or find a vette missing it..And really I have enough projects as it is

Nothing wrong with used parts in good shape. If was in your situation tho where i was replacing and fixing stuff anyways, I would be considering upgrades. And getting a big case of while-I'm-at-it-itis.
