I tried installing my NOS cruise control switches tonight as my existing ones have the chrome flaking off.  I think the whole wheel has to come off for this.......ugghhh.

Headliner is sagging, console lid needs paint, dash has a  inch split, and sun visors need to be recovered..........thats about it for the interior.
