Subject: Wanted Bonneville interior parts Wed Mar 27, 2019 4:40 am
Hi, I'm restoring a burned '59 Bonneville convertible with A/C. All possible interior, ragtop and window parts are welcome. All chrome details and moldings are melted. Hydraulic cylinders and pump/motor are burned. Front window motors are burned. I can get most of the instruments and switches from my wrecked '59 Catalina coupe but I'm interested if you have any. I need to have Bonneville dashboard trim, passenger dashboard handle, A/C control unit and air outlets too.
Ames Performance Engineering (www.amesperf.com) is a good source for a lot of parts. In 2003 I got hydraulic top parts (cylinders, pumps, etc.) for my convertible from Hydro-E-Lectric located in Punta Gorda, Florida. I don't know if they are still in business though.

Burnt steel no longer has the same resistance. It causes many problems for bodybuilders to straighten large areas of bodywork. The work will be difficult.

I have a power seat from a 60 that is hammered. I also have a 60 bucket seat car and many other parts for 60's . I know the 2 years share a lot.

Yes, I have it. I has not been able to anything to it yet. I have a new front bumper and frame for it. But I have no heart to dismantle it.
I have Bonneville drivetrain ready and tested. Next I will start with body. There has been a break in this project because I did some work on a 66 GP to get it the way I liked.

Do you sell the bucket seats? Could you send me some pictures of those? Thanks.
