This is a Mustang part, so we could go to California, Texas, and find two used Mustang doors in good condition. I want this car to have four doors, not reproduction doors. They are gone, but they now make a one piece floor panel for this. In the old days we bought sections of a floor panel and the family seems to agree and so do I, the one piece floor panel is a smart thing to do for this car. Yes, they make a steering wheel, but there are ways to save it. We have a guy in Florida who restores our wheels for us, so what we'll do is take them off the boat in Florida and get a professional opinion on the wheel.
