Default Re: Biscayne Resto Project

You are right for sure belair and biscayne used different patterns.If I was not so lazy I would try to find my 66 dealer albumn since I think it has fabric samples in it.Belair had lines like the 65 seat pictures Ken posted. His new covers I think are biscayne just not his fawn color.
This is a 66 belair as far as I remember.

Why my friend.If gary's car is a 65 belair we are on track.
If it is a 66 biscayne I am confused.
You need the cloth pattern they sent with the top to match the top of the door panels and dash pad.I bet they have it since that color vinyl was used on a lot of Gm models.

Gary's is a 65 and you're right, if the top panel was the same it would be acceptable........

After getting back from the Power Tour and looking at the Biscayne in the garage.....I got a bit motivated and trimmed out the carpeting, installed kick panel speakers, installed the Kick Panels and things were starting to move smoothly again..........until I opened the box with the repro Sill Plates.......the Fisher Body Emblems were missing.......after calling the supplier.....I was asked...."How could that happen"...........I said......I can't Imagine Either........Where doe's it end with this "Crap"......still waiting for the Radiator.....9 weeks at this point......also got the Power Steering Hoses and support bracketry installed........Here are some new pic's

Are you sure you don't have to buy the emblem separately? Seems weird that 2 individually packaged plates would be missing the emblem.

I sold a lot of those sill plates when I worked for Camaro Specialties and know that the emblems are not in the package and come separately but are part of the sale. We never charged for them if you bought the sill plates.
Someone obviously failed to include them.
