Parts Help
sam81663:
Jim at Heartbeat has helped me with my restoration a lot. Ask him anything. He will be very accommodating.
Bob at Camaro specialties is very up front about which parts are good and which parts need work
to fit. Both are very pleasant to deal with.
In my experience.
And good luck with your project.

Heartbeat has done good by me also. As far as price the old rule applies. They have sales from time to time. Currently 10/19/14 its 20% off till the end of the month.

Be careful with any long distance parts purchase. Arms length transactions are strongly preferred when dealing with Camaro parts vendors. Know what you are buying and ask lots of questions before handing over the credit card numbers. We have been burned before by so-called
"reputable" vendors who should (and do) know the difference between "gold" and junk. They are known to put lipstick on a pig then ship it to you in a box. Restocking fees and freight both ways deter you from returning what was described to be "original assembly line parts" but is actually some well used tired generic service replacement that would typically sell for a fraction of what you paid. If you can't trust an "expert", who can you trust? Sad.

The quality of a part doesn't depend on 'who sells it', but who makes it (if you're talking reproduction parts).... Ask others, go to shows and talk to the fellas about the parts they bought.. inspect them.. find out the manufacturer, then find your best price.

It is always best to find nice assembly line parts, even if you must dye them or replace a know etc. Check that the crank fits securely with out much if any wobble or slack in the teeth. If you can move it more than 1/4 or it takes up a good deal of slack before the window begins to move then it will strip again,
