Classic industries

I recently got a catalog from classic industries and have delt with them in the past for my 69 Nova. I'm dissapointed on there firebird catalog as they have almost NOTHING for a 1991 Firebird Formula!?? Does anyone know of a similar company that HAS all the parts/pieces for a 91 Formula?? Thanks in advance.

These cars do not have a whole hell of a lot in the way of reproduction offerings. You can get the dash pads and some interior pieces but that's about the extent of it. Most of those can be found on Hawk's Thirdgen or some of the other sponsor sites. Aside from that you have to take what you can get from parts cars or from the forums and either get good parts or refurbish / refinish the ones you find.

Re: Classic industries

Don't know how long you've been looking at Classic, but I've been getting their catalogs since 2004... They offer some more parts in some areas than they did back then, and they offer fewer in others. It wasn't too long ago that they offered full GM quarter panels, from the roof joint to the rocker panel. In fact, if the catalog hasn't changed, the quarter they show in the picture for full GM replacement panels is actually a passenger's side 82-92 panel. Now, just like Goodmark, Year One, and everyone else, they have repro skins that don't replace the whole panel... But no longer the full GM panels.

No, they don't have 91-92 noses, tails, or any tail lights for our cars, or any air dam pieces (used to have those as well)... Mostly what they have is glass... And stripe kits.

Re: Classic industries

The latest CI catalog I have is a couple years old and there is very little in there that pertains to our Camaros. It's not that I need a lot any way but I'm always looking for something to update my ride. CI is not my first go-to place for parts.

Re: Classic industries

What parts are you looking for?

Classic has a good selection ime. Year One is starting to carry more stuff as well.
