Default wrecked it

well i really screwed up today! too much acceleration on cold tires coming out of a turn. spun it and hit a tree with the right front. hurt my pride and eventually my wallet.

i will need a right front fender. front facia, hood, inner wheel well, headlight assembly, side marker lights, and some support brackets.

who do yall recommend to source these parts?

any members on here with a body shop in ga that works on these cars?

Before you start repairing, check the frame. Also start pulling damaged parts and see what all needs to be replaced. There are a couple of guys who part out cars in the SE. post a wtb add in the c4 parts section.

There is a corvette salvage yard in Bristol Pa. Contemporary Corvette probably has the parts that you need

Contemporary Corvette is a great place. Sourced a replacement convertible top frane from there. Even had a good top with very good rear window. Fast shipping too. Give them a call.

Another option, if you need it, is Corvette Generation in Dade City, Florida. They sell parts for C3 and C4s but also do maintenance and repairs on them

thanks for all of the replies i have stumbled upon a supplier 15 miles from my house in acworth ga his website states that he has been recycling C4 parts for 20 years Carroll Corvette says he has all of the parts that i should need in stock prices seem reasonable being this close i can inspect before buying and ship them myself in my truck

i will let you know about this supplier

It's a WHOLE lot better when you get to actually lay your hands on the parts you're buying. Eliminates the "that's not the one pictured in the photo" drama...
