Biscayne Interior parts are not readily available like the Impala stuff.......Talked to the people at Just Dashes and they will restore the "Original Door Panels" as new.....Sent them out today.......6 month turnaround time......anyone else have any experience with them....

Ken,
Consider calling a friend of mine, Don Bock here in NJ. He owns a buisness called Passenger Car Supply and his specialty is '65-'72 big cars. He also used to work for CARS way back when they were just in the upolstery business. Donny knows where to find rare materials that aren't listed in anyone's catalog. He also works for American Auto Wire (which used to be Factory Fit, and Parker Wireworks before that). He can solve ANY wiring issue on these big cars.
I recommened him highly. 856-467-7966. You'll most likely get his machine during the day when he's at his regular job.

Ask Donny about Just Dashes. Perhaps he can work a better turn-around time for you.

Hope you make out ok. The car looks great!!!

Verne

Hello, I am also doing a 66 Biscayne resto/clone project on a Arizona car. Have done business with Don also in the past on another car with wiring issues....VERY knowledgeable! Have bought a few of the very rare parts (4spd. boot and and ring from him). Great guy. Cars Inc. here in Mich. is reproducing Biscayne interiors...from what I have seen they look great.Send a PM with your ph.# I'll call you on my dime to yak about these big cars. Your car and mine look very similar, White/Blue....

I saw that one on ebay too. It was missing a few things. I believe it should have a bowl breather on the front bowl. That may depend on the date. Maybe Eric has one he can add to it.
