What's a good site to buy door handles, emblems, lights etc for a 1980. As well as performance parts?

 

There are several places.For performance parts,i would go jegs or summit,for the other parts there is national parts depot,classic industries,fbody wharehouse,rick's camaro,and a whole lot of other places.I have bought quite a bit from national parts depot,they have had any part i needed and they ship out fast.

 

Thanks ill be sure to check those out. I may need to start a progress thread also.

 

I forgot,ebay and craigslist are also both very good sources for some of the parts that are not reproduced or if you just want to save some money and get used parts.I've used both of those several times and got some really good deals.Example,the center section of my front spoiler was missing when i bought my car,i could have bought a new one for around $150,i seen a few used ones on ebay for around $100-$125,but i got lucky and found the complete front spoiler on craigslist for $35,that was a no brainer,i was in the car and ready to go before i even finished talking to the guy on the phone haha.

 

Ill have to do that as well. My 80 camaro also has a 350 installed. I believe that it was a 305 stock. Doing what I can to fix up this car since my dad had this before and I just recently got it from him.

 

That's the beauty of owning these cars,is once you own it,you have all the time in the world to do whatever you want to it.My car is pretty much all complete,but i still get the itch to add things or change stuff,or just upgrade something haha.It's a never ending thing,most people will tell you these cars are never "finished" because you will always find something that you want to change.

 

I love a bargain, and for certain parts and pieces I've found used more thn adequate. I wouldn't hesitate to use any used body parts, or good used interior trim. I would have to pick and choose on drivetrain parts. A driveline would be fine if it looked undamage, and a rearend also if it looked good inside and had the posi and gears I wanted. Even engines are fine, provided I can hear them run, or better yet drive the car before it's pulled.
I've saved thousands over the years with good used parts.
