1965 Thunderbird console texture

I have a 65 t-bird interior in a Kustom. The console appears to be leather covered, but it isn't material, it is like molded with a leather grain type finish.

Any ideas on how to replicate it?

Interior door handles question

I know they all share the same square drive, so you can change them out for different years.
My question is, are they all the same length?

Shoot, that is what I am worried about.
I think the floor was patched over the bolt heads :(

Are the head exposed on t the floor, or in the cowl, or?

Re: Trans issue?

I had an issue with my 47, turned out to be worn pins in the external linkage not allowing full clutch release.
