Default Company for 1st gen civic resto parts?

I havent had much luck finding resto parts for my fresh 1979 cvcc. mostly moldings, interior pieces, weatherstripping, etc... Is there a place out there that services these cars?

Thanks!

There's not really anyone that actually makes parts for these cars. You pretty much just have to keep your eyes open across Ebay and craigslist to see who is selling their stuff.

Not even Honda has too many parts. The only things Honda can get are your basic needs (spark plugs, wires, caps, etc.). And you can get those at Advance Auto.

^^^ Tune up parts for that car nothing. I go down to Advance Auto and get all the tune up necessities from there. Takes no more than a couple of days to get in and the price is cheap as hail.

BTW, I currently drive a 79 CVCC.
