71 Interior

1. How many companies manufacture interior parts like dash pads and door panels and who are they?

2. What brands are good enough for the NCRS members?

Thank you.

Corvette America makes and sells interior pieces. Al Knoch is also good.

Hi Tony,
I agree that the products from Al Knock are well thought of by many people.
Be aware though that they are detectable from originals in judging.
(I'm not sure if that's what you're asking in #2 or not.)

Corvette America, Al Knoch, Corvette Pacifica/EC Products and MidAmerica Motorworks all make interior parts. Some items from each company are good, some not. Unfortunately there is not one vendor that has all items correct.

Yes, where do restorers go for show quality interiors?

All of the above.

As I said, each has certain parts they make that are good, and some that are bad.
The only way to know is examine cars and see what you like, and consider stopping by Carlisle to see some parts firsthand.

Patrick,

I wish I could wait for Carlisle. Parts are needed now.

Hi Tony,
I sent you a PM.
I didn't post my choices here because they really are just one person's opinion on a fairly involved situation.
