I thought if you were to repaint it, you would go for the same tone.
But it looks like it can be restored. I think the old color is good, glad you are keeping it that way.

Re: 61 Ford unibody project
I did not want to cut up my dash so I made a mount for the rocker switch
For the accuair I bought the Ilevel it's pretty trick most likely will never use the rocker switch but nice to have if something happens to my phone.
