Default best place for electrical parts?

I recently purchased my first vette. ( Whoo Hoo !) Its a 1990 coupe which had been neglected for many years. I'm working to revive it and get it back into shape. The does not seem to be any really major problems but there sure are a lot of medium to minor ones.

Right now I'm working on the drivers door and have found both the power door lock and door ajar switches to be broken. I've checked a few internet based parts suppliers and find that stock availability and prices vary quite a bit from vendor to vendor.

Does anyone know of a Corvette vendor that specializes in electrical parts?

Thanks..

I've used Contemporary Corvette (link on my site) to replace several switches and motors with good success.

They are also good to use if you want to check out used parts pricing.

If you need weather pack connectors try this:

I have ordered from Zip corvette parts, but the local chevy dealer charged less for my power door lock switch than the catolag price.

Thanks.. In this internet age I tend to forget that the dealer has parts as well. I ended up buying the switches I needed from two seperate on-line vendors. One vendor had actually had both switches but their price was so high it was cheaper to get it elsewhere and pay additional shipping.
