Just completed our restoration of a 52 3600 pickup, and now moving on to a "modern" SS Chevelle. In doing the 52, was disappointed at so many of the reproduction parts, but didn't have too many options. As we embark on the Chevelle, does any one have a favorite supplier for parts? Interior, body panels, trim, etc? There are a couple big suppliers like Year One and Original Parts Group, but they may all be the same, and is the quality acceptable?
Thanks!

I have a 71 Chevelle SS, currently a driver but some day hope to do a full resto. There are alot of suppliers and some I used were Ausley's, National Parts Depot and one in New York I liked the best but can't remember the name right now. I had purchased several items from Year One, they are into alot of different vehicles. I found the quality at most suppliers to be good on some items but fair to poor on others, typical after market stuff. I will let you know that other supplier name was later. Let me know how your project is coming along.

The other suppliers name I had good luck with was "Ground Up". If you haven't checked yet, look at the Team Chevelle web page, they have alot of information. Good luck on your project.
