Parts Purchasing
I just wanted to post this little observation...
Don't assume that you cannot get GM parts for reasonable pricing. ie.. weatherstrip.
Jeff Koop is ABSOLUTELY the man :thumbs: when it comes to parts for our cars. I wont post pricing but I saved nearly $70 on some weatherstripping that I ordered from him and this savings is from published catalogue prices of REPRODUCTION parts!
I know everyone has to make a living but the "corvette tax" :cuss BITES.
(quietly stepping of soapbox)

Re: Parts Purchasing (ittlfly)
ditto here! I have replaced many parts with Jeff's help. His prices were always lowest and they are GM parts. He takes care of you....ships fast. Also, he knows what he's talking about! :thumbs:
