Ryder,
I should have it all. will dust it off over the weekend and double check. It's just sitting in the shed collecting dust and cobwebs. Would love to see it go to a good home.

so stockies came by during the week with this. hey i really appreciate it dude, this is a come up...

all the pieces are there, have the 2 tone dash ends too with the wood, as well as full cluster binnacle with with with vq caprice button stocks (same as vp calais).

there is some overspray on the dash that i was able to clean off (99% of it). its visible close up, but if it bothers me enough ill just repaint it. shouldnt be a problem, everything looks mint. i wiped the whole dash down with some multi purpose thinners, then gave a wipe with some leather conditioner i had laying around. came up a treat...

im debating on weather to do some custom door trims wood to match the dash, in factory caprice style, but maybe refinish everything dark mahogany. keep it gangster looking...

damn even had the gloveboxs too, your a legend man cheers again...
