Best Place to Buy A Front Clip?
 
I need to replace the front clip on my 81 and i'm just looking for suggestions from people who have done this as to where is the best place to buy a new one from.

Any suggestions are appreciated,

Bill

A new correct one will be very expensive, Corvette Image is the only one I can think of. A one piece will probably be considerably less than original....ACI. With one piece front clips you'll have a lot of work fitting it. It's also not as strong as original, no bonding strips . On the other hand you could probably find a good used original front clip that just needs cleaning up.


you have a pm

Sermersheim's Fiberglass, Inc. in Evansville Indiana makes some of the finest reproduction parts in the hobby. Some of the vendors use their panels as well as complete front ends. I purchased a front end from them for my '63 and couldn't be more pleased...

The fit and finish is superb. They are not cheap, but they do give an excellent discount to bodyshops. I don't know if the do C3's, but you can give them a call and ask. You won't find better quality...
