I had planned to completely restore the interior after the C10sinthepark run, but it looks like a partial job will ensue. As expected the door panels were held on with a huge assortment of styles and lengths of screws. Those will be replaced and the panels will be stripped to the base.
This was not where I was headed, but here I am.

Funny how these little projects snowball. It will be worth it to do it right. Looking forward to checking it out in Texas
