Rear arm rest bases
I am in need of replacing the rear arm rest bases on my 71. Many online restoration companies sell these reproductions. I ordered a set from Ground Up and when I received it noticed several things. They don't have the detail for one. The side piece that runs up the side of the rear seat is plastic and doesn't have a way to fasten it to the base. I am sending them back. Has anyone purchased an aftermarket set and found them to be accurate?

You might check with James Hinshaw (Hinshaws Chevelle Parts) in Elon ,North Carolina to see if he has some nice original ones .He has a lot of good quality used parts as well as reproduction stuff. He will also tell you what repro stuff is not worth buying .

I still have a set of reproduction one I purchased and had painted to match my interior before I recieved them. I never used them for the same reason. Find a nice set of originals and have them painted to match your interior. No one sells one that look like the originals that I know of. What color do you need?

Ray- that is mighty kind of you! The Ebay arm rest happens to be the passenger side and is the side I really need. The Driver side I can probably make due with (just a crack). I placed a bid so we will see. Your friend, might he happen to have a black rear side panel, passenger side? I'd like to replace that too. Thanks again.

So were you the winning bid? I put an email to my friend to see what he has.

I am so mad. I've never bought on Ebay before. I was the only bidder. That is what i thought. However just before it expired someone placed a bid and beat mine by a few dollars. I had no idea i should have set up alerts. Just my ignorance and inexperience. I am still steaming about it.
