I feel your pain. What color is your interior. On my 68 nova I waited 2 months for a ivy gold carpet. The vender I ordered it from just kept saying next week. Then 2 months later no carpet so I called another resource and they had it in stock and I had it in three days. You could say I was not a happy person. I have learned when ordering parts to ask if it is in stock and if they say no, I hange up the phone and try another source. Just my 2 cents.

I've learned to ask about parts in stock also.....but they alway's say it's in stock......but when it does'nt show up, they say it's being Drop Shipped.....waited for three weeks for a Speaker...finally cancelled it after dealing with Mr. Attitude.....and got it in one day from D&R.......it was generic to Camaro's......Too bad they don't deal in "Big" car stuff........Good Vendor

The Interior in the Biscayne is Fawn......Everyone else in the world has Beige as Fawn.......the covers I got are dark Gold.........Again......I'm the only one that has had this problem.......

Had the Headliner put in yesterday......first I had to get Windlace made as the "Factory Stock" Windlace I was sold(Twice ....and have the bills to prove it ...LOL)was non useable (colors not even close)....any how, I've given up on trying to deal with C.A.R.S. on getting what I need.....they shown the right stuff in their catalog, but it's not what they sent me and I can't wait another 10 weeks for them, so I sent the seats out to a local shop for recovering.........Why is this so hard.......I just don't get it.....It's not "Brain Surgery"......Anyhow....got the headliner in and installed the Door Panels (Just Dashes did a great job, except the retention nails they pre-installed were in position on one side and way off on the other????), Installed the window mouldings, started to install the carpeting and found that there is major trimming to be done to get it to fit.......better more than not enough I guess.....got the Radio installed and put a set of repro-correct kick panel speakers and a set of rear package tray going in also...."Still waiting for the Radiator" 11 weeks and counting.......the Radiator that came with the car was good until I forgot it was under the Lift and when I lower it the Radiator got Downsized........Darn....Don't you hate when that happens.......Anyhow....here are some latest pic's
