I put a 100% brand new interior in my '65 Skylark over the past few months. Here are some before & after pictures. Please let me know what you think. :TU: DOOR PANELS Before After SEATS Before After CARPET MISC PICS
Here's a list of what I replaced: Dash (restored by Just Dashes) Seats (foam & covers) Carpet Floor mats Headliner Sail panels Package tray Door panels (and splash shields) Sunvisors (and bushings) Jute (package tray, carpet, kick panels) Kick panels arm rest pads (front & rear) arm rest bases (front - rechromed) coat hooks seat belt retractor covers seat belt emblems door weatherstripping sail panel light covers window trim (front & rear) window cranks parking brake pad brake pad
A new interior is one of the most satisfying things to do. Looks great! Having done a little bit of it myself, it even smells good. And when you sit down, it feels good too, don't it?:beer
Dan, Can you break down where you got parts, who did what in the restoration process, and what parts worked and what didn't? Looks great! Mark
I need to do this one of my 65s but i would hate to know what it cost you...Looks very nice though..........
Looks sweet! Where did you get your armrest bases rechromed? I really should have mine done too. How bad was the cost?
THANKS FOR ALL THE POSITIVE COMMENTS!!! I will post a detailed review of the parts (vendor, fit, my comments etc.) in the next few days. Stay tuned...
Hi Everyone - Sorry for the delay... I will post a thorough review by the end of the weekend. Cheers, Dan
Looks awesome Dan! I also look forward to seeing your list. This would make a nice section on the 65GS website for others. With all the stuff going on in your busy life, you are an inspiration to others to get off their butts and get working on their own cars. BTW buddy.. we need to start making plans soon for the Nats.. email me or call when you get a chance. :beer Chris
