Fiberglass Issue

[Toby H.]

Good afternoon. Does anyone know of a vendor who is making C1 fiberglass panels that does not have an incredibly long lead time? I have had a complete nose on order from Corvette Central for just a little over a year. Can't believe there is that much demand. I have been somewhat patient, but would love to move on with the project. Thanks.

Maybe if you try to contact the manufacturers directly, will that help at all? The two major manufacturers are Lee Bump and Coffman Corvette who took over Corvette Image's business. We look forward to seeing your next project. If it is half as nice as your most recent, we are in for a treat!

When you say complete nose do you mean from the doors forward or from hood forward? Have you tried to find a used one? What year?

Terry;
I should have been more descriptive. Need firewall forward for a 1960 minus the hood. I tried Lee Bumb which was a year out as well. Hate to cancel my existing order, reorder with someone else and take even longer.

Might be worth a call to David Sokoloski.

Hope you have better luck with him then I did. If you want details e-mail or PM me. I got the fiberglass part I needed from a guy in the Boston area. Can't recall his name, been a few years, but I remember he was a master ncrs judge at the time.

Coffman Corvette bought Corvette Image - lead time right now is about 3 to 4 month - I ordered several pieces and noses - same quality - no issues - even better crating and packaging - Chris - TiN Restorations

I'll back up Chris' statement about Coffman. Quickest delivery and great quality. They are all I will use.
