I think " See 4 Parts", a vendor here that sales used parts lives/ has his yard in LA. He strips Vettes, sales the parts. Good guy/ honest and doesn't muck you about.

Robert, the emergency hood release cables are easy to make yourself.(you can buy them too,but why?) There is a tool you can buy for 25 or 30 bucks that will open the hood latches ( a PIA tho). Just smarter and easier to install the cables. There has been a few threads about these and how to make/install. Very simple .

That's one thing I need to get done, before I regret not doing it.

Hi SmartChoice!

I am from LA as well and was just wondering what shop you used to do your labor?

How was your experience with them, and would you recommend them to anyone?
