Thanks!

Just did the interior over the winter. Was the stock black interior before and the old seat covers (especially the driver's side) were a little ragged...but once I started I couldn't stop! Seems like many of us have that disease...LOL...





New 50th Anniversary steering wheel decal and new Lloyd Mats with the side logo





New seat covers, seat belt shoulder pads, console/arm rest lid cover, and door sill decals (never mind the paper plates in the background...that was where I put my Irish Spring to repel critters over the winter!)





New door handle wraps
