Having read many posts here on this forum recently ... I have seen the occasional mention to a few of 'Vette parts suppliers and services.
So far, I've not come across anyone recommending or using ZIP Products.
I have recently purchased, from them, parts to refurbish the front/rear suspension and steering-linkage on my '63. I've been satisfied with their services ... but have no reference comparison based upon how other suppliers may perform.
I'd be most appreciative of other members experience, advice, guidance and counsel regarding ZIP Products and the other suppliers out there.
BTW, when I began with the 'idea' of freshening-up this car, I had requested a catalog from Long Island Corvette ... after receiving same, then selected the parts I wanted ... attempted to place my order ... only to be denied because I had to apply for appropriate credentials or whatever ... which I could understand. So I placed a telephone call to them so as to proceed ... WHOA!!! ... the person I spoke with was VERY rude, terse and sarcastic!!! She must have been having a bad day or whatever. Result: I was turned-off by that person and, therefore, LIC, so went elsewhere.
Maybe I was too hasty in going elsewhere ... don't know ... but they have a nice catalog with lotsa parts.
Sincerely,
PeteZ
