Thanks, OD, lots happening now.

CARPET: Wilton wool cut pile, dark taupe or dark gray, is what I'm after. Beaverton Auto can make them, but it seems Kanter or Hirsch has ready-made sets, maybe there's an alternative recommendation. I couldn't determine from their websites, or cost. I think they were pretty reasonable.

Of course, Quiet Ride has taken 2 weeks to ship a generic, off the shelf, floor kit. That has to go in first.

RUNNINGBOARD: One runningboard has been stripped of rubber but needs to sit in the rust tank over the weekend at American Metal Cleaning.

DOOR STRIKERS: I haven't given up on SOMEONE finding striker plate cores for me, but ordered new ones to get the ball rolling.
