Where do I start?

I have a 1971 Plymouth fury 3. I want to start making preparations to start restoring. I have a classic industries catalog but it doesn't show any c body parts at all. Where would be another place to look if any and as far as restoring where should I start 1st.

The Paddock or Year One may be able to help. Mopar Action magazine is helpful too.

There are no C Body catalogs from any of the major parts houses. Your best bet are C Body specific sites such as:

www.forcbodiesonly.com
www.cbodydrydock.com
www.moparfins.com

These are places I also used during my restoration:

eBay
National Moparts
Collector's Auto Supply
Murray Park
Mitchell Motor Parts
Atlas Obsolete

Be patient, C Bodies aren't cheap or easy to restore. You can't just open a catalog and order a bunch of parts you need. It takes a little research.

Here's a link briefly documenting the 4 year restoration of my 1965 Chrysler 300 Convertible:
