Convert to center console on 68 Valiant

yeah. I'm starting with the motor. For now, I am replacing the old cracked slant 6 with a better slant 6. Then I move on to the interior and exterior. Those carbon fiber inserts look way cool for this console. So I guess I will just sand it and see what happens. I don't need it falling apart on me trying to clean it up.
Thanks for the reply.
