US Body Source in Florida has a lot of obscure stuff.

They are the only ones that make glass for my Chevelle.

Quality is not great, but workable.

Plus - it they don't currently have it they will make a part for you (provided you loan them a good original).

Yeah, I'm not going to be of much help. I like the US Body Source reference. WS Racing is out of business. They are the ones I got the hood from years ago. Showcars Bodyparts out of Canada is the one I'd avoid. They call out the 73-77 Pontiac stuff specifically, but its unlikely you'll ever see anything out of them.


It may be worth giving these guys a call too

When I was looking, most shops would offer to make them if I was willing to supply the bumper for the mold. Kinda pricey doing it that way, but for these cars, parts don't sit on shelves.

At the very least, a phone call to any of these bigger names could lead to a recommendation of a smaller shop more capable of turning these out quickly.
