I'm finally getting around to installing my headliner, but am a bit stumped at how it all goes. Does anyone have any photos of your partly assembled and finished headliners and door frames? I think I'm missing some parts but am not sure of this. Also how does the windlace get installed? What doe...

The rear seat (bottom cushion) on my 51 is missing the locating pins that fit into the pockets in the floor. The pockets are there, but there is nothing on the botton of the seat frame. And I can't see any marks on the cushion frame where they might have been located. Been driving around with it wedged b...

Heres the panel I got from California for 52. I put Sun Pro guages in it & have ordered a speedo from Summit Auto for it. Comes in "brushed aluminium" with PONTIAC embossed over speedo hole. Should look "cool" when I get to install it at later date!!

I have a 58 Pathfinder that I am restoring. When I got it it did not have any arm rests. Any thoughts as to where a fella might find some?? I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba so anything close would be good. Chuck

My 54 has some kind of non factory seat covers . Not all that nice.The first thing I do to that car is get the seats redone. I would like if there is anyone out there with some good 54 shots of the interior. I am going to try to get something done as close to factory as I can. I think it would be some type of two t...

Just wondering if anyone has access to 56 Laurentian interior material, namely the cloth for the seats?

blanchae · blanchae

This would probably work for any flat door panels. Here's how I made my own custom door panels that turned out quite nice. Next time, I would put spray several coats of contact cement on before I glued the pieces together.

Anyone know where I can get this cloth for the insert in the vinyl seat? The vinyl is in good shape but the cloth on the front bench is pretty rough.
