baron_ Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 Need some GTO parts - new to the area (gto = chevelle sometimes) are there any big resto places where i could go and walk away with say, door hinges? like the paddock in indiana...or a year one store new to columbus and have no clue - trying to save on shipping (and i like to see the parts before i buy) thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUTAN TA1647545492 Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 I just got done doing some work on a 71 Chevelle, and he got some parts from somewhere in Circleville. I will check with him and send you a pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ridenred27 Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 i can re- pin them for you. i have the same problem with my 67 cougar but the old ford latches are fn junk i need a new set. but if you want to bring the car by and i can see how bad they are, they should be fixable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron_ Posted May 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 i spent 3 hours trying to get one pin out - of the top latch...at that was a horrible nightmare, had to grind them in several spots and even then, with both spots of the pin grinded off on both sides, i can't get one side out i bought 3 of them new at springfield - they didn't have a 4th i might try cussing at that one for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wnaplay1647545503 Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 when I was building my chevelle, I had the best luck at the springfield swap meet. Should be one this spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron_ Posted February 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 yea, i know i've got 4 cars i hate year one or shipping - $15.00 a crack with handling - not to mention the wait if i waited a few months between ordering stuff, it might be ok but i'm impatient i currently need one single clutch adjustment rod a 5.00 part, maybe $10 that any restoration joint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baron_ Posted February 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 maybe i should add, again..that i want to be able to go there to pick up the part i know of 4 or 5 places in dayton (where i'm from) all of them sell restoration parts for muscle cars exclusively and at worst, there is 'the paddock' over on the indiana border i'll grab a phone book tomorrow and look around - there's gotta be some around here even if it's a place that *can* order the parts - don't have to have them in stock...just that they order frequently enough from places like year one that i don't have to pay shipping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
