    does anyone sell the chrome trim around the metal seat backs? mine are cracked but still good. I got new interior for it from legendary and sent the seat backs to the body shop to get re painted. also got new carpet but down know how to remove the floor console. I see the two screws inside the box and thats all i see so far. dont wont to snap off anything.
    thanks

    Johnny your interior project is looking great.

    I've scanned and posted the entire '67 Buick A-body assembly manual on this page right here so everyone can have access for free: https://1967gs.com/manuals

    Here is the sheet from the '67 Assembly manual that shows what retains the console (4 fasteners).

    Wow that’s pretty! Good luck with the steering wheel. I think they crack when exposed to air, light, darkness, heat, cold, human hands, movement, being turned...

    The blue interior looks great!

    I’ve seen about 10 NOS ‘67-‘68 GS steering wheels over the years in various colors. EVERY ONE of those NOS steering wheels was cracked.

    Well done Johnny. I think all the Buick steering wheels cracked. I just restored one for my 65, If you find one and need advice let me know... Jon
