Sounds like what we would call a horse trailer. Mr. Ed’s limo!

OP, Best of luck with your repairs. Hopefully all goes well and you’re back on the road sooner than later.

Not looking good so far. I've spoken to everybody suggested that I can get hold of both on the phone and by email and get a sort of blank response as soon as I mention shipping out of the US. The parts are freely available but I've even requested that they box them up for me and I'll arrange a shipping company to come and pick them up, but apparently no interest, I don't suppose there is anybody on here that could do that on my behalf for a fee is there? I've even tried to buy one set that looks perfect, but ebay won't let me buy it without the seller allowing oversees purchase and the seller just doesn't reply to me.

Depressingly annoying as I can see at least 4 sets of exactly what I need on ebay right now.

The business is a Corvette repair shop; they only work on Corvettes. They do everything except paint and/or body work. Very reputable shop located in Sumter, South Carolina.
Hi, I could really do with details of this company, I am finding it nearly impossible at the moment, and it doesn't seem that it should be this hard.

Thanks.

it's comical. I post this and even get a thanks for it, but no interest in knowing who will supply the parts. Whatever

AEScorvette parts
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...9k-aa6373.html--------this isnt the model you have, but explore their website and you may find what you need

LEECparts----i just spent 1500 with this vendor and i am very happe with everything that ive recieved (interior pieces, carbon bezel, seats, door panels, console and trim pieces)
https://www.ebay.com/str/leecparts

good luck , let us know if you need anything else
AES look good, but just cannot get them to talk to me about shipping, tried email, ebay nessage and phone calls, just don't seem interested. Shame as they have great stock.

I've already thanked you once, and missed this post, it wasn't deliberate

No sadly, the guy who was going to supply me won't commit to actually wanting to do it, bit of a pain but I guess it is a lot of bother. Cost me 3 weeks though in getting my car fixed which is irritating. I've PM'd you.

I'm still trying to get hold of this company and have PM'd you if you think they might still be interested?
