SHOP TALK

Parts and Resources

Need to work on your roadster and/or other rides, or maybe get some special parts; then below you will find many businesses
and websites which specialize in parts and supplies, recommended by CR members.  I have tried to use local companies where possible. If you know of a great place to purchase parts, or a good shop to have repairs, paint or upholstery done, please send
an email to: calroady@aol.com


Note: These are just suggestions, with no guarantee on performance and/or quality of work, so let the user beware.
Please report any problems, and I will review, and/or remove the recommendation.
