Dang I forgot about that one. Good eye. It’s the lower trim that the Montes didn’t have. I’m debating on pulling it off but I bought it and it matches, so we will see on that. See we found another thing wrong. Thanks. But that’s not Elmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that’s not Elmo Yea I remember the seat trim conversation, I actually think upper and lower looks good, but I'm not a purist 🤣 The oil pressure gauge was too easy for Elmo, even if it had been discussed. Even with the hint, I went back through the interior pic's I didn't find anything. I'm just curious now what it is damnit lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 Ok that’s enough. I will give the answer but I still would like to know if I missed anything else. Thanks again to all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1970mcss Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I'm working on my console too. Looking to find the two console plates if anyone has any extras in "stock" I emailed Leo but haven't heard back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1970mcss Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 The parts place has a replacement that the burlwood is a decal that looks like dog dooo. I have a set ordered from Classic Muscle that look good in the pictures but they are on back order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don’t like it and you think it looks like dog doo don’t tell nobody. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1970mcss Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Is yours aftermarket? The wood grain looks correct to me. Let me know where you got them if you don't mind. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott S. Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I saw something in a Micheal's store a while back. It's more like a "mactac" (if anybody remembers that stuff) that you buy in sheets. You'd have to trim it to fit, but it might work ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know where you got them if you don't mind. Thanks It is. I will dig through my paperwork tomorrow after work. There were several different ones out there and I didn’t like the color. It didn’t match the dash. I went through my paperwork tonight. It was purchased through eBay. Third one up from the bottom. My eBay receipt didn’t tell me squat. But that should be the phone number. About 35 bucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1970mcss Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Did you get inserts? My front chrome plate is cracked. I'll take a look thanks. Looks like the number is the paypal number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 71 has it on the lower section as well, but my buckets came out of a Cutlass so that explains it. I never knew about the differences in trim until I read about it here. I learn so much here! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dtret Posted January 19, 2022 Author Share Posted January 19, 2022 So I got one of the first parts I started looking for when I bought the car today. MY VIN TAG. ( I also posted in another post so sorry about duplication). So tomorrow Two rivits popped in ( yes I have the correct ones) dash pad installed and I can get the glass put in. Whoo Hooo. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted January 23, 2022 Author Share Posted January 23, 2022 It’s nice to have the factory vin tag on it now. So much better than the one the state of California put on. Now the body shop has to fix my door jamb. That will wait till spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jft69z Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Looks good. Is that VIN tag supposed to be the painted the interior color or left black? Now would be the time to paint it with the window still out. 10 minutes and an air brush, would be quick & easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I was mimicking your pictures ( because yours was painted). Now I’m not sure but I went safe with black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
