The cloth insert should be great for those long haul trips ! The door panels are original, and the console is original . . . the deluxe wheel is original, but has been redone by Doug Lepak (thanks Doug !!) . . . just a few more little things to take care of in the interior and then I can drive it - if the weather here ever STOPS snowing !!!! 7668095-FrontwithInteriorApril2013.jpg (369 downloads)

Just remember the picture you had in your mind when you first started the project ! Every little amount of time spent, is that much closer you are to getting it done. Don't get too discouraged - you will make it ! Cheers Mark
