I'm looking for places to order parts from or actually pick from a yard if they physically located in S Florida.

There used to be www.geneskarshop.com but the website isn't there now. And I think they were in Florida.

You're welcome.

BTW, you might still want to check locally to see if any yards have Vettes you can pick over. You never know what you might find.

I've heard of a place that specializes in Vettes somewhere around Homestead, but I haven't been able to track it down.

Do these yards actually let you walk the yard?

What I am finding, so far, is that the easiest way to find a specific part is to do a Google search for that part by its name. i tried doing it inside of eBay but couldn't find what i was looking for. Went to Google, asked for the same part and it took me right to a source at eBay.

I do that too.
I've even gotten deals off Amazon.com
