Looking for Restoration Parts

I'm not a Beaumont expert, is it a 68 or 69?

Summit will likely have almost everything you are looking for. They use a warehouse in Ontario to ship to Canadians and I have found their shipping to be quite reasonable with no surprise charges at your door. Just make sure to specify Fed-Ex. It has been my experience that UPS will make excessive and arbitrary charges at your door.

To me, looking for and researching parts for a build or restoration is likely the most enjoyable aspect of old car ownership. I absolutely love the search and sleuthing required to amass the pieces needed. I miss the old days of rummaging through wrecking yards but swaps are still pretty cool and the computer has brought about worldwide sources. Still nothing beats an old business card or personal contact in finding the treasures.

Agreed. I love the research and the chase.

I'm also looking for more than just car parts. I have a mental Rolodex of all types of things that I'm looking for.

What Mike said.......Summit is great and are getting into the old car parts more and more.

Have been using them for 30+ years and never a problem.....they ship out of Woodbridge, Ontario very reasonable.

I didn't know Summit had a Canadian warehouse. Good to know.

At least 10 years or more now Todd. I can order online and get it under 48 hours. I'm about 2 1/2 hours from Woodbridge.

Just specify Fed-Ex ground on check out, charges are very reasonable. US$ Exch is still rough but that is not Summit's fault.

Another good source for parts that are the same as Corvettes is Corvette Central in Michigan.

Shipping to Canada is very reasonable and occasionally they have 'FREE' shipping to Canada.

When have you ever seen that from a US retailer?

I was literally telling a youngster about Summit today, they had a number of things I needed for my Big Block project and I'm calling on Tuesday after the holiday to start a new little project going. Shipping is free to Canada on all orders of $299 USD or more. I've always been impressed with their own branded products as well, usually Made in USA.
