Default New Guy seeking guidance

I bought a 76 w/ t-tops that needs a couple of interior parts. It needs gold/tan carpet and the winshield pillar pieces that are made of foam? Also gold/tan in color. Any suggestions as to where to search. I've already been through 4 pages of C-3 parts search with no luck. Do I just go to E-bay? Is there a corvette parts bible that everyone uses? Used is ok, in order to match the remainder of the interior.

Also, a question on how to segregate postings by topic. Is there a way to sort out the C-3 forum by sub-topics like performance upgrades, suspension, exterior, interior, audio, etc...?

What a drag,
I just painted my tan, foam windshield pillar pads black.
Probably would not have fit.
I picked them up cheap from a 'vette boneyard.
Do a Google search.

Default Welcome Jay-Dog

G'day mate.
You HAVE come to the right place. I can't help you with any parts, but I "re-conditioned" my old and torn parts with fibreglass and vinyl and used VHT "light camel" (I think!) vinyl spray and it worked a treat. Only problem is that it didn't QUITE match the colour of the rest of the interior, so I had to buy a few more cans and re-do the WHOLE interior. The upside of this is that the interior looks great, but i would lose points at Bloomington.

But then again, it's a bloody long drive from Melbourne to Bloomington. And wet, too!! Welcome to the Forum.

Regards from Down Under

Default Willcox - Hoo Haah!

Thanks for the tip. Willcox is now on my favorites list.

I'll still take any other suggestions.
