Hello Don,
Welcome to C3VR. You'll find the guys on this site are the best and you will get answers to all your questions. I too am restoring a 72. I just recently bought a complete total interior. I found a company in Georgia that gets most their interior parts from Corvette America. Their pricing was about 20% less than buying directly from Corvette America. I actually picked the parts up while at Corvettes at Carlisle from the Corvette America tent. If you would like a name or number just PM me and I'll be glad to send it your way. Also as many have already said check out the sponsoring vendors here as well. I wish you luck on your project. Have fun with it.

Best of luck with our project, sounds like you are well on your way to success. I enjoyed hearing the back story on your car. I gives me a great feeling when I hear about guys that have had cars stored for years them bring them back to life. Keep us posted.

Will do. And I've already had a chat with Rik. Great guy and very helpful with a question I had. I'll be doing business with him for sure. I'm dragging my feet, but photos are coming soon.
