    Which pieces do you need? I think I might have the top black plastic trim piece that goes all the way across the top windshield. I don't think I have the side pillar pieces. I might also have the small upper corner pieces. The only problem is the parts I have stack are hard to see.

    In the same pile of parts I see one of those back seat curved metal pieces that go on the side. I should have the other piece in that pile. But until the pile gets moved up from where it is I won't know for sure.

    There is only a plastic piece across the top and two metal corner pieces. No side pieces.

    Rear window inside trim consists of two halves and a connector. Unsure if there is a GOOD repo.
    Some cars have an edge trim on those inside c-pillar panels. some don't.

    Don't know if they are reproduced.
    Best try would be a Pontiac or Olds supplier.
    For Pontiac, try Ames: www.amesperf.com
    For Olds, try Fusick: https://www.fusickautomotiveproducts.com/ look in the Cutlass/442 section.

    Best Buick specialist is CARS, www.oldbuickparts.com
    They offer many parts others do not. But their customer service can sometimes be difficult. They're in NJ so you can visit them.

    I rarely use the larger companies like Year One or Parts Place. The vendors I mentioned above (and many others) are at the larger Pa-NJ swap meets like Carlisle and Englishtown. It's nice to see the parts before purchasing, compare parts to originals I can take with me, and not have to pay shipping.
    Get their catalogs, make some lists and buy at the shows... they're only a few months away.

    66 and 67 Skylarks/GS never came with side pillar covers. Only came with front upper headliner strip and metal corners.

    John, I do not see the pillar pieces in my pile. I see this new pair on ebay. Please do not buy these because someone on this site should have a pair for you. Plus original pillars should fit PERFECT. But here is a link to what they look like.

    I have the upper plastic piece and I did find the two small pieces. I think I might also have some of the windlace that goes near the pillars.

    I also wanted to let you know I did find the curved metal pieces that attach to the rear ashtray panel pieces next to the back seat.

    Thanks Bob i found seat pieces the night I found arm rest bases they sell windlace that goes from front to rear windows . Its funny it is same stuff we use around large electrical panels to prevent nicks in high voltage cables. Also found shifter have to contact shift works in vegas they have kit to changes detent to 400 transmission from powerglide .Have top plastic moulding that goes around windshield pictures I took at your place was too dark to recognize what was there. PS the hood scoops are close to perfect THANK YOU! I was too scatterbrained to see all you had to remember what i needed too see when we went into garage.Ill give you pep boys tin I mentioned when i see you next time to add to your collection for being such an honest guy thanks for replying so much. Hope someone has set of original pieces at a decent price. Also spoke to someone that told me about junk yard in south jersey that has a couple of 66 gs skylarks for picking wonder how much is left? Maybe they are there hope so

    Your Welcome John, Glad you are happy with the hood scoops. Keep in mind I do have the pass side door. I am planning on getting rid of more stuff at Englishtown (swap meet -april). So I am not in a rush, But I need to organize the garage more. I am planning on starting next month on that project.

    If you do take a trip down south jersey. They do have a swap meet next month. It is a long ride and I have not been to it in over 10 years. So I am not sure how good it is. Here is a link to the swap meet.

    Nothing covers them. They get painted interior color. The edge trim (windlace) goes on the rear edge by the door.
    You have the corner pieces at the top.
    The ones on eBay are replacement panels.... cut the rusty or damaged old ones out, and weld in new ones.

    John, It is really hard to see your picture of the pillar section. I do have a picture of part of my pillar section. I am having problems with the flash on my camera. So the picture is not that great. It does have some type of metal pillar.

    Maybe if you take a closer up picture of the same section I have posted we can compare them. I used a regular camera not a cell phone for the picture and hosted the picture through photobucket.
