    57 driver part list

    Where to start?

    History 57 vette 6155 vin. 81300 miles My father that is 77 has owned this car for 52 years. I am restoring so dad can drive the wheels off of it.

    Stage of work. Started January 1st. 2010.
    Body off frame at sandblaster, due back 21st.
    Frame and all metel at sandblaster to be power coated, due back 20th.
    Putting car back stock and correct as a points car but driving the bow tie off it. Why? I love my father more than time, money and bloody hands!
    Goal 4 months so Dad and mom can drive in Indy 500 parade.

    NOW for the questions and help needed. Please,
    I have a list of parts, screws, bolts, interior, etc.
    Is it best to buy off of one vender ( Paragon)?
    Or order the interior off Al Knock direct? Time is the issue and correct is the goal.
    Will the part suppliers give better deals on bulk orders? $12,000.00 +
    What is the best advice you can give for me for the parts game.
    What are the good venders and who stocks the most.
    Small LIST:
    Exhaust kit.
    Complete interior (soft top)
    Weather striping kits (both tops)
    Front suspension kits (correct tie rod ends)
    etc.


    Thank you

    Re: 57 driver part list

    Alan, you are to be congratulated for taking care of your Dad! If you don't have them already recommend you purchase the AIM and the 56-7 5th Edition Judging Manual from the NCRS Store. Read the 5th Edition 56-7 JM and ask questions on this TDB before ordering parts if you have questions about originality. Also, belonging to a local NCRS Chapter can provide you with a lot of information and help. Good luck with your restoration! JMTCW, Gary....
