Hello i just finally got a chevelle. its what i have been wanting for awhile now. i just put a down payment the car. Its true ss i got it for 15000 and its original motor was a 350 with a 4 speed tranny. but the one guy that had it before this guy the one i am getting the chevelle off of put a 454 in it with automatic slap shift shifter. its not the nicest but i know when i got to restore the whole thing one day i am not gonna have to worry about rust its all pretty well solid. and the only thing that i saw wrong was that the head lamp the lense that goes over top the lite isn't there and the passenger side mirrior is missing just the mirrior not the part that holds the mirror. can anyone recommend me a place where to buy some of this stuff i am new to all this stuff mostly.

I have done alot of work to my Chevelle and have had good luck with Trim Parts, Goodmark, and Golden Legion. The parts looked like the originals and fit like the originals too. Don't cheap out and buy low quality parts, they don't fit right and look like garbage. Some of they other guys on here will pipe up and tell you about good places to get parts. If you have the time ask the other guys first before you buy specific parts. They helped me out and I am happy with my end result.
