(Preview)
I've traced both clusters and have made up two diagrams of the plug wiring. The first shows the original 1969 Full size Pontiac standard instrument cluster configuration, with the Rally cluster to the right. The Rallys wiring is likely unique to the USA car, athough it is possible Canadian Cars w...

Bucket seats
(Preview)
Hey there, I have a question for Custom Sport owners regarding the front bucket seats. I'm around 188cm tall, when I mock up the seats brackets to the areas they were cut out from and move the seat all way back "my knees cover my ears". Is that normal? Or maybe there's something wrong with my bucket seats?...

Does anyone have a picture of this shift indicator part?

Hey there, does anyone have a picture showing how this part used to look like so i could design it for 3d printing? It seems some lever is missing. It doesn't seem Impala or American Pontiacs have the same mechanism. Also would be awesome if anyone would show how it's attached to the column or console s...

1968 Parisienne or 2+2 Convertible, rear speaker location
(Preview)
Was looking at a 68 Parisienne convertible today, and it had the dash mounted fader for rear speaker, but couldn't see the rear speaker location. 1967 was the last year of the center top of the rear seat, and it wasn't in the right rear (or left for that matter) armrest. Any ideas on its location?

1969 Pontiac 2+2 Dash Insert Reproduction

I was able to source a 1970 Pontiac Dash for my 1969 from a member. However, the woodgrain is completely different that year and No logo. I am working with a graphics company to reproduce a sticker copy of the 2+2 insert with the 2+2 logo and the outer white stripe. Because they are very busy, this is at lea...

Convertible rear speaker
(Preview)
Recently saw a picture of a 1970 catalina convertible with a speaker in the middle of the rear seat back. Did not think this was an option for my 1970 Parisienne convertible as i have not seen one in the 46 years I have had the car! The parts book is also vague so if anyone knows let me know. Maybe this guy inst...

Tilt steering columns-sadder but wiser
(Preview)
Howdy guys, for your info a 66 chevy tilt steering column will not bolt into a 66 Canadian Pontiac (even though most of the car is based on a chevy chassis) so don't try like I did. Especially don't get all enthusistic and buy one on ebay. Below are some pictures of my original non tilt column at the top,...

Does anyone know how to adjust window angles?

Hey there. I'm also dismantling doors and rear walls to lube all window rollers and rails and faced one issue. One of the windows seems rubbing against the front rail on the rear panel.

1969 Instrument Cluster differences

Broke out some of my collection today. Most didn't make it through the 80s with radio hole intact I have one good piece to build. But the mid-year stuff on these cars still blows me away.

Getting into some work finally on the Laurentian doorpanels. Tired of driving it around bare. It's not a good look to be sure. Ugly. So I figured this job might be suitable for a little needed post, so why not! Anyways, the panels on the 65 as found were in tough shape. All the upper vinyl was wasted, the m...
