About Us

Thank you for visiting us at ss396.com. The leader in Chevelle parts, Camaro parts, Nova parts, and El Camino parts!

Founded in 1990, Ground Up has grown from a small operation selling tough to find parts at swap meets to the largest Chevy restoration supply house in the Northeast! With thousands of parts in stock, Ground Up is the ultimate source for detailing and restoration parts as well as expert advice for keeping your Chevelle, Camaro, Nova, or El Camino running and looking its best!

The first Ground Up warehouse, at just 500 sq. ft., was located in Long Island, NY. After expanding several times in New York, Ground Up made the move to Connecticut in 2004 to improve their product line. Ground Up quickly outgrew that warehouse and just a few years later, the operation moved to a 40,000 sq. ft. distribution center and showroom in Naugatuck, CT in 2010.

This Northeast location allows Ground Up to have most orders packed, shipped, and delivered within 2 days from South Carolina to Maine and as far West as Ohio and West Virginia.

Although Ground Up has moved and expanded, our goal has remained the same:

We will provide the best value through top quality parts and unmatched customer service!

Thanks for making us the ultimate source for detailing and restoration parts!
