Bluestang,
Here's a link that gives more details from a buick forum.

455 Lifter Valley Improvement

Thank You RS building as much info on these as I can .

Ok this should get me near to where it is . A while back reading Craigs list I seen a Le Baron Bonnie Tudor interior for sale . It was up near Rockford IL. and he was asking $400 for it so I drove up for a look . It was a older set never installed the front bucket covers had a little critter chew and was dry rotted at the bottom where it tacks to the wood , well after a chat I picked it up for $300 , these are $1900 from Bonnie all day . I had the front buckets redone with original material from Le Baron Bonnie so it would be a match .



Headliner



Padding's and burlap







Before sand blasting and painting









Mocking in the rear side panels also .

Once again Bobby, NICE Job!! And another good deal falls into your lap! You make it look to easy! LOL..

Mike if this car had spirits I swear its begging to get back to the road . Certain almost unobtainable things are showing up at the right time . Since this happens the name for it is Time Machine someone gave it that name , will look stock interior and be fendered .

You certainly come a long way Bobby, nthing wrong with stock interior, mine is not that far from stock, I`ll see if I can dig up a photo...

Nice score on the interior kit. Looks great

Rich I have had it since Fall of 2007 and probably have about 7 months on working it . The body being clean is the savior the rest is more just bolt in and go stuff . The 37 I have been talking with a local interior guy on doing it in Mohair .


Steve Thanks now the last thing I need is the right steel wheels and new tires maybe that will fall for me , But I doubt that one LOL .

It's always a good thing when "stuff" shows up like that! Most of the material for my interior showwed up this past weekend and I'm going with a one-off type kinda deal, not really original but no way custom... basically, what my wallet can afford now! LOL..

Mike Sounds great you have found what will work , This is all that matters in our car enjoyment . My wallet is no way fat just got lucky . Your interior will be fresh and thats the main goal right ! I hope to be able to maybe swap this car with different one's to have fun in as we get to the stage of driving fun .
