I love the Paragon catalog with all the exploded views and diagrams…. Their websites is pretty good too, but maddeningly slow ( sometimes wonder if they are using dial-up internet access)…
My only complaint really is, perhaps they should list the part numbers on each page in numerical order or???
sometimes I see the part I need in the diagram, but have trouble finding it on the page…. Sometimes it’s on the next page, sometimes it’s elsewhere…

I have a copy of the last printed catalog they made. Invaluable. I like Paragon and Corvette Central but like another poster said, you can find the part in the diagram but not on the page. You have to hunt. LIC was superb in that regard.

I saved a copy of the LIC catalog in PDF format just before they went off the air. Send me your e mail address and I will send a copy to you.
As for Paragon's illustrations - they are right out of the AIM - the somehow cleaned them up and actually sharpened the images but the illustrations are right from the AIM.
As for Paragon being slow. When I search for stuff on line I have two browser windows open - in one I have the Paragon catalog open, I can scroll through it pretty fast and identify a part number I am interested in - then in the second browser I also am on the Paragon website - but this one is open to the page where the part search number field is on the left side. So from browser # 1 I get the Paragon part # - either copy it or memorize it - switch to browser # 2, enter the part # in the field and hit enter - and it opens in a page with all the details for the part - then I will either delete, or save to my wish list or add to my cart. Makes it a lot easier and faster if you have Paragon open in two browsers.

I like Dr. Rebuild Catalogs, along with Paragon and LIC.
I hope Paragon fixes one problem with their site. If you do not log in and check something it erases your shopping cart.

I have received several requests for the LIC catalog - will be glad to send it to all that want it (I may regret saying that). At the moment I am not at home - the PDF catalog is on a computer at home that I cannot access right now. Will be able to send it out on Monday - if you want it send me an e mail at edszeliga@comcast.net.
