I am a new member on here, I have a 76 olds 442, red/white, white interior, white vinyl top. Have pics on the registry, more to come in the future.

Like most of you all I am having a hard go at finding interior pieces and am getting frustrated at time and time seeing the Spike TV shows order entire interiors for camarros, chevelles, mustangs, and the like. Is there a source for new interior hard panels? IE the seat backs, the lower door panels, the trim around the windows and windshields, the soft upper door panels and rear seat panel?
About all I find for the 77 and 77 year cars is reproduction carpet, and now occasionally rear quarters, which I need skins for as well.

What is the latest and greatest source for Olds interior/exterior parts? Any rumors of more reproduction for these later year muscle cars? I hear there maybe more in the near future as people are turning to the later gm cars to buy up as the 60's and early 70's are becoming scarce.

Any help would be great!

I think Ken [442MUCH] has the interior panels your looking for in white, unless he sold them. Check the listing in the parts for sale section he posted.

Quarters for the 76-77s are available. Check out

As far as interior parts are concerned, people here at the site have some laying around. I'm slowly trying to gather some myself. I email Legendary Auto Interiors regularly to try to persuade them into making some interior pieces.

You see cars in Hemmings Muscle Machines mag regularly with their interiors. They do good work! It's funny when you look at what they make interiors for. 78-79 Lil Red Express trucks and Warlocks??? How many of them are around in comparison to how many of US are around?? I even offered to drive my cars out there to have them use as templates. Maybe if some of you started to drop them emails, we could persuade them to get the ball rolling a bit faster. Couldn't hurt, right?

I found this place http://www.topsonline.com/ that makes the lower door panels. Maybe we could push them along to produce other parts we all need.....

The Parts Place advertises lower door panels for our 73-77 cars. I believe you have to die them to the desired color.
