Welcome to CV. The others are shy but I'm sure they will jump in with opinion.

Paul B who also hangs here recently did the rear piece on his 74 so I'm sure he can offer some guidance. Enjoy the ride

Welcome to the forum!!

1)For fiberglass body parts, check out:
www.vanacorvette.com
www.www.tracyvette.com
and another
http://www.corvetteimage.com/

also Corvette Central
Mid America Designs
Ecklers (these are more expensive)

2)For roll cage someone else will chime in, but I think I saw a setup for sale by a manufacturer in a recent thread.

3)Side pipes & headers:
Check out the thread on Jet Hot GP (Group Purchase) which is also within the first two pages.
Jet Hot is probably your best bet, but until someone else chimes in you can check out www.summitracing.com too.
here is the thread:
