Hey there, I'm sharing some pictures of my steering wheel restoration process. It's the beginning of my first car restoration (not counting few duct tape patches on the upholstery I already done for the car) The "original" (putting quotation marks because all the interior is not the one it was built...

For my 67 Parisienne Convertible, I need the plastic part that holds both sunshades in place over the mirror. I have Ames Performance catalogue and it appears that the part only comes in a kit with the set of sunshades. Does anybody have a spare or know where I can get one and if so, what the actual name of t...

Hey everyone, I'm wondering if there were any successful attempts to install 3 point seat belts on 1965 Parisienne/Bonneville/Catalina? Would the top anchor go to the roof or the side panel? Thanks in advance for any info.

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?

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...

Hey everyone, I have a few questions as always:) Now it's about interior colors for 1965 Parisienne. I'm planning to restore it to more or less authentic look except few minor things. For colors I'm leaning towards Fountain Blue for exterior and Parchment for interior. I found on the internet some co...

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...

Hey guys, I couldn't find any 3d models thread here, but... Hey guys, in case anyone's missing this part i made a quick 3d model which you can print. This one is made for Pontiac Parisienne 1965. Most likely will fit 1965 Chevrolet Impala as well. Auto threading, but be careful, it may easily crack. You c...

Hey everyone, I'm trying to gather all the parts for the interior, bought mirror assembly but the mirror screw from OPGI doesn't fit the mirror's thread.

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. Tightening the top two nuts is moving the rail with the glass all together. Does anyone know how I could move the glass...

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.

So now I've reached a biggie (at least in my mind). Doing the headliner in my 65. I'll try to document this one the best I can, as it might actually be useful to others.

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.

Starting to put the interior back into our 66 Impala which I assume is the same as a 66 Pontiac. When the rear package tray was removed it was just a piece of old carpet, all the OEM stuff was gone, so there is no reference.
