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
Alan
