Congratulations also. The interior you've shown in some of the shots looks to be in really nice shape. I hope you might reconsider your thoughts on changing it.

I was slightly younger than you when I "inherited" my fathers old (to me) 51 to drive thru high school. Being an "old man's car", and all my friends driving Fords or Chevy's, one of my first projects and one I still regret to this day was to tear out a decent interior so I could put in vinyl like stuff. That was what was in keeping with the style of the day.

If you are going to try and restore to mostly original anyway, the correct interior would add so much more value to the car.
