This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Well, I have similar problems with the same car. I ended up finding a parts car locally with the same color interior but a 2dr coupe... A lot of parts I need will come off that car, you might try and find the same thing.

    You might want to contact Cars Inc. www.oldbuickparts.com as they sometimes have some Electras in their yard, or there is a yard in Vancouver, WA called All American Classics www.allamericanclassics.com that have a couple of 67 Electra's in their yard, but I hear they are expensive.

    As for the center emblem in the grill, get in line.... one came up on ebay a couple of months ago and I lost it literally in the last seconds.... bidding hit $75 for just the tri-shield insert. Good luck and let me know if you have any spare parts!

    thanks doug,
    for the suggestions I will look at the web site,I have gone through great american classics before but no luck this time(they are expensive but good quality). I have a spare original rim cover off my car with the tri shield emblem in it in decent shape. Do the coupe's parts tranfer well to the convertables. Thanks again, and I will wish for sunny days to drive in.:cool:

    Most of the parts of a 2dr will fit for the 'vert but you have to be careful with door/window seals, body work from the windshield back and some interior pieces. If the 2dr coupe is equipped with "smoking sets" in the back, then the backseat can be interchangeable as well, provided there are spacers for the backrest (some have them, some don't). But I believe the rest of the interior is interchangeable, if they are similarly equipped cars.

    Right now I'm on the lookout for new valve covers, the "Electra" and "225" scripts the trunk and rear quarters in good shape (ie, better than mine) and of course a nice center grill tri-shield. Let me know if you find any of these, if you don't need them. Thanks.
