RESOURCES AND USEFUL INFORMATION
Here are some
vendors, suppliers,
manufacturers,
distributors, and service providers who have been used successfully in
the past by one or more of our members. The list is not all
inclusive and your results may differ but it is a good place to
start. Also check out the Links page
for various Corvette Forums. Sometimes these sites have valuable
information which can help you solve a mechanical, vehicle care or
performance problem. Also, don't forget that some HVCC members
have been around the block a few times and have learned valuable
lessons on Corvette care and modification along the way!
