Looking to purchase a front clip for a 1957 Corvette. Please let me know who might have one.

Thanks,

Gary

Gary, Ecklers in Titusville has them. What are you looking for.....Hand Laid(more work to install) or Press Mold like original?

Sermersheims would be my choice. http://www.scorvette.com/

However I just looked in their catalog and they don't supply assembled 56-57 front clips, just pieces.....????

Corvette Image in Gresham, Oregon is another supplier.

Eckler's can get PM but you might want to call to see who makes it.

Check with 'Wombvette' on this forum. He can tell you who makes the best correct front ends and where to get them.

Eckler's gets their PM front ends from Corvette Image.

Reviewing some previous posts, I see Corvette Image PM front ends had some bubbling issues after painting. Are these head aches true and, if so, has the issue since been resolved?

Do a search using his username as poster, and when a post comes up, click on his username and send him a PM.
