Default Help needed on some Parts for my CC

I've been going through what I'm missing and I'd appreciate info on where I can get them. This probably won't be my only post, but here's what I know I need so far:

* Side louvers - other than ordering them from the other side of the world like Capteddie did, I don't know of any replacement. My plan is to make my own unless someone has a better idea.

* CC rear lower control arm bushings - mine look very old... can someone tell me where to get new ones?

* Trunk latch - planning on ordering from Finish Line. I had ordered the hinge from Don but never received, but I see DV has already listed for someone else another alternative source so I'll probably go that route for the hinges, so this would be just for the latch & lever.

* Hood handles - also planning on ordering from Finish Line.

* Rear coil spring adjuster and the adjustable coil spring pocket - I suspect these were CC parts but if someone knows otherwise please let me know. (These are the parts that go on the upper end of the coil springs, by the way). Also, it would seem that these would not be used for coilovers, (but I may be incorrect), so if anyone has leftover parts they want to sell please contact me.

Thanks in advance,

MC

MC,
Can't and don't want to use the spring perches for coilovers- Nothing is needed for the coilovers but spacers of some type to push the tops and bottoms a little way out from the frame.

I have one set of spring perches AND I think the large 1"(?) threaded rods for them.
Blue coil is a great spring- 13" height with a 250lb. weight ratio.

DV,

Sounds good. I'd be very interested in the perches and rods.

These springs sound like they would be a better fit than trying to track down the Chevette springs. I'll look them up.

Thanks.

MC,
Finding either one (new) really isn't a problem but the Chevette OEM springs give the body more 'roll' than most people want. I'll dig up the perches and make sure of what I do have today!

I can do the trunk latch and hood handles. Shoot me an email and I'll get you prices with shipping.

Not to be a pest, but did you have any luck in locating the perches & rods?

Thanks.
