Yea I painted the doors separate from the body. Now that I have the doors back on I can paint the vanilla to match the paint lines on the body. Should get it all done this week....will post more pics.

The original plywood was in great shape and it is still in place. I used a quality 1/8 maple plywood as an overlay. Then I made 3/4 inch strips in contrasting darker wood placing those lengthwise. It just screwed in place with stainless # 8's. Wanted a different look. I did the headliner with the same 1/8 ply. I will post pics of that later.

Yup I used the shifter from that other make you mentioned. Couldn't resist the deal I got on the whole interior out of a 2012 King Ranch. The console shifter and cable are an east fit. I made custom trans bracket and shifter arm. The shifter has a neutral switch that was super easy to incorporate.

Thanks
