"PRCIOUS"
LOL! That would work!
But Steve won't have the ring runes on it...I could maybe get away with it if they were magnatized.
The plan is to put it back to "stock" as much as possible...visiting salvage yards, ebay and such to get original replacement parts. For example...the dome light is broken. I can get dome lights that would do, or I could go to a salvage yard and get an exact replacement.
The idea is to TRY to get the exact replacement first, then go to for "aftermarket" stuff if we just absolutely can't find the replacement.
And example of when we will go with aftermarket instead of stock is the seatbelts...at least in the front seats. They are AWFUL. We will absolutely need more modern seatbelts. However, we will keep the originals, in case we ever sell this car and the purchaser wants them.
Seat covers however will be discarded completely...they are totally shot and not worth saving. They are easily replaced with aftermarket "copies" of the originals.
How about window decals in the back window?
What a cool project you've got ahead of you!
Here ya go...
