Dear Jim,

Good a.m.and may this find you well. Which panel do you need? Is is on the driver's side of the front center console or the passenger's side of the front center console? I presume you need a panel, that is beside the front center console, and not the panels, that are next to the front doors.

There is a salvage yard not far from me, close to which I'll need to be, this afternoon (Friday, 29 Oct 04). I'm sure they won't charge much for the panel (though they have a $25 minimum, which sometimes they waive for me, as I'm a long-time customer). They let me remove the parts I seek, as I do so carefully,i.e., without damaging anything else.

I'll not gather anything for you, that is not cosmetically perfect: that would be a waste of the shipping costs. I also pack as if the shipment is going to be delivered, by parachute extraction from the ramp of a C-130.

Let me know exactly what you need, and I'll see if I can find it.

Yours faithfully,
