Yep - that will make a difference. Car looks great - sort of reminds me of my 74 Fire Coral Bronze Formula 455. Love to have that one back!

I'm back working on the car. I was trolling Craigslist a few months ago and saw an NOS set of wheel opening moldings so I bought them. I installed them today along with the wheel trim rings. The trim pieces on this car really accents this color well. Maybe I should add the roof moldings and decor trim.

The carpet arrived this week along with a bunch of other stuff I ordered. My upholstery guy told me to lay it out in the sun to get rid of the wrinkles before we install it. The second picture shows the under dash filler panel sitting on the carpet. The panel has already been painted the correct dark sandlewood and it's an almost perfect match for the rubber pad in the driver's foot well.

My new rear inner trim panels arrived last week and the console showed up today. I am using the 71 style panels since the 70 style is not available, besides, I think the stitched insert looks nice. It was 70 degrees today so I went ahead and painted them. I'm using the PY interior paint which is a pretty good match. Picture number three shows one of the door panel pockets. The inside of the pocket has been painted and the outside is unpainted, so you can see how close the color is.
As for the console, I'm not sure how to prep this for paint. I used plastic prep on the inner trim panels but the console looks like it may have a vinyl "skin" on it which means maybe I should use vinyl prep on it. Has anyone painted a repop console? I think I read somewhere on the boards that the metal brackets should be removed from the original console and used on the repop, and to use special bolts with with a head that looks the same as the original rivets, does anyone know where to get those? |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
