I was wondering where everyone orders the majority of their parts from. I have a very extensive collection of Chevelle and Camaro catalogs that I order parts from, but this is my first Corvette project. It seems there are so many Corvette venders out there, so I am looking for a little help narrowing them down. TIA

It depends on what I'm ordering. In my case, I mostly order from Jeg's. Most of the parts I buy are to make the car go faster.

Now if you are talking from a restoration point of view. Zip, Eckler's and Corvette Central just to name a few. There is also a member on here that has his own business. His name is Scott Dixon and the business is called Corvette Works. Scott is a great guy and would do business with him in a heartbeat.

I usually just try to find the best price or in some instances whoever has it. I've had good service from all of the above. :cheers:

OHSIXX

Jegs and Summit seem to have the best prices.

Dwayne 76

Mid-Ameria mostly.

Zip and Ecklers. I found Zip to be a little less expensive on some stuff, but Ecklers is just across the state, so if I want it fast UPS std ground can get it here overnight. Van Steel for suspension stuff.
For common stuff I use Discount (Advanced) or Autozone.

I have bought all my parts from catalog companies. I have been using corvette central and have not had any problems I also price mid america and Zip The overall order has added up cheaper at CC every time. I have been buying e brake parts, rear suspension parts, a shifter rebuid kit and brake caliper. There was no refund problem on my caliper core charge. I notice a lot of these parts are from the same manufacturers no matter who is selling them.

I have ordered from several places- Ecklers, Riks, Corvette Central, The Last Detail (who seems to consistantly have the best prices)

One thing you might find helpful- go out and buy a current issue of Classic Chevy and Corvette Trader- (I cant remember the exact name- but thats close). There are many small companies that advertise in that book that dont have a separate catalog - I found a great deal on a new dash for my 80 in there- (400.00 plus 10% off).

I buy most of my parts from ZIP.

I'm lucky in that I live close enough to ZIP to drive there (< 1 hr away).

If I order something, it's usually from either ZIP or Mid-America.

I've been happy with both.

Oh, Welcome :seeya

For the best call Volunter Vette 865-521-9100. They'll send you a free catalog.

Chevrolet has a lot of parts.

I use Corvette Central for Corvette specific stuff. There prices are usually lower and they're an hours drive away. However, I have to pay sales tax when I buy from them because they're in state :sad:
