I've replaced the inserts but I'm unsure what length of screw I should be using when I go to put the dash back i...

I have began taking my seats apart to get them ready to re-upholster and a lot of the wires that ran through the fabric that the hog rings connect to are nearly deteriorated, the burlap protection pieces are looking ragged and the extra padding is missing in places. I have all new seat covers and new foam...

Does anyone know if this is the proper factory console tach for a 66 Beaumont SD convertible? I have my doubts since it does not really match the dash gauges, no yellow ring around the gauge faces on the dash gauges. It is not currently working, took it out today and the pointer needle, nut & washer...

What tach will fit in the dash for my 64 beaumont? Will a chevelle or a GTO one fit? Would like to get away from having it on the column. Clock doesn't work anyway, so a good spot fro a tach. Thanks, Brian

Hi Guys, Just out of curiosity....what did the original ignition/door/trunk keys look like for 66/67 Beaumonts. Did it have a GM logo, Pontiac, the twin Maple leaf over the Pontiac emblem?? Looked in previous topics but was unable to locate info. Kevin

Finally · Finally

A couple of questions for you guys. Is the logo that's on the glove box for a 1966 SD Beaumont the same as what is on the interior door trim? Also, I see that replacement door panels are available from Dales. Has anyone ordered any? How's the fit and finish? Where would you source the Mylar trim strips fro...

anyone know what colour matches the dash insert panels on a 68 ?

68 Greg 511 · 68 Greg 511

Switched my 68 Coupe from bench to buckets. It seems that when i mount the seat belt retractors to the floor the side of the seat rubs against it. Any idea if the mount bolt is suposed to be moved back. Seats are close to the console as well so pretty sure my floor brackets are correct. Thanks.

So, my lovely vehicle is in desperate need of every possible molding it is supposed to have. All the stuff that is left on it is um in horrible shape and needs some replacement. Does anyone know where to find any of that for a decent price? As it stands, it is also missing a rear seat and looks sort of barren....
