Re: Special interior

www.smsautofabrics.com

Buy the materials from them, and have an upholsterer make the covers and door panels. It gets expensive when you are looking for the correct materials.

Re: Transmission blues

I check in from time to time, but not every day, and I miss a few posts. Glad to see you fixed the problem.

Re: 1960 Buick invecta 4 door hardtop

I have a 60, but it's an Electra225 convertible.

There are several members on the Facebook page "1960 Buick Universe" .

Re: My Four Door Special Project

Nice! New tires make such a difference. I just got new ones from Coker for my 60. Night and day difference from the crappy brown walls I had before.

Re: Century Dash repair

There is no reproduction dash pad available. www.justdashes.com can reproduce it from what you have, but it's usually around $1k to do it. There is another company that does it, but I can't recall the name right now.

If the material is not cracked and is still supple, you can peel it off the frame ...

Re: Headlight Issue.....

It could easily be your dimmer OR main switch. Or you have a short somewhere. Have you traced the wires back to the harness to make sure you haven't pinched or run through a wire with a screw?

Re: 1958 buick limited

This is a really difficult thing to pin a $$ amount on. Do you have photos of the car? If so, email them to me and I can post them if you are unable to.
