Dash Pad reproduction for '65 Skylark/ Gran Sport

[JimL65]

I have been in communication with them about redoing the arm rest pads.  They are very interested in doing the arm rest pads.

I will be pursuing this in the near future. I plan to do it like the dash pad project. 

I will post some more on the arm rests as it progresses.

Its good to hear that you are going to take on an arm rest pads project as well. When the time comes, I'll be in on that as well!!

Does anyone reproduce the 14" armrest bases??

[GS66]

Are 66 armrests the same?

[Turbonut85]

Couldn't tell you....I'm WAY too new to these cars...lol

[Loren At 65GS]

Are 66 armrests the same?

That is a tricky question, because it will depend upon year, model and trim level.
The arm rest that is used in '65 Skylark and Gran Sport convertible and hardtop models was also used in '64 to '67 models. The sedan [ post ] model used a different style arm rest.

Picture of the style arm rest is attached.

Unfortunately, no there is not a reproduction of the 14" plastic base made.

Originals can be re-chromed, but you need good ones to start with.

It's pert-neer February. Still crickets?

[Loren At 65GS]

I too am getting anxious.
Today, I called PMI to check up on the progress.  We still do not have a delivery date as of today. I am told it is being worked on and they have an extended time that they are down starting with the holidays.

Hope to hear something soon,

 Tony,
First, my apologies for the long delay in a reply.
Today I called PMI to inquire on the progress.  I am still working to get the dash pad project finished and hope to have it completed in the near future.
In answer to being available in the future, Yes . I will be a vendor for them.

At this time, I have not moved much further with the arm rest pad. In short, one adventure at a time.
