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...

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?...

Neilvermilion · Neilvermilion

Hey there, I was planning to install those basic safety features for a long time but it had lots of interdependent things like bucket seats need to be secured and brackets welded back (I know on the images the brackets are still not there but I have a welder coming tomorrow). I got the 3 point retractable...

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...

Hey there, i found an ad with 1964 bucket seats from Wildcat and wondering if those tracks will fit 1965 Parisienne bolt-on. Could anyone please advise? Thanks.

Hey there, I'm sharing some pictures of my steering wheel restoration process.

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.

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.

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...

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.

Hey... So I just picked up this 1965 Laurentian 4-door sedan that has a 283 w/ powerglide and (among other ailments...) sticky doors & windows.

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.

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. 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...
