Thanks for the advice. I couple of updates are as follows:

1) was able to locate the missing gas tank, yay, that saved a little coin.
2) Couldn't locate the missing glass
3) Couldn't locate the missing telephone style clock and speedometer. I have the one from the 110/120 I can use.

I think I am going to go with black paint since it's the original color. If the car had been blue then I would have been more inclined to paint it blue..

I have some samples coming from Hirsch to see how close I can get to the original material to fix the arm rests in the back seat.

All in all I am very happy with only missing the few pieces, since the car was in boxes when I got it. I do plan on driving this a bunch so maybe I'll talk to my shop about the marker lights again. See what he thinks.

I was planning on using the same ratty carpet that came with the car but now I am re-thinking that decision. Th rest of the interior is cleaning up nicely and it might be a good idea to put the correct carpet it. It's not in the budget but...
