For my '88 GL I want the rocker switches covered with Vermilion Darter hide.

 He's the newest on the endangered  species list and found no where else in
the world but  in a two mile stretch of Turkey Creek near Pinson, Alabama.
The good ol' "Powers That Be" here in Alabama have decided to build a new
jail on that stretch of creek so I know there is gonna be lots of Vermilion
Darter hide available. Why, there will be so many Vermilion Darters
floating belly up in the creek that  you can just go out and take your pick
of size, age, and intensity of color.

 Maybe I'll just upholster the entire dash panel. My van is bright burgandy.
......close enough to vermilion....to make a custom match.!!!!

And I'll get me a bud vase and hang over the Vermilion Darter skin covered
dash, and put a couple of Cahaba Lilies in it. Georgeous white lilies found
no where else in the world but a one mile stretch of the Cahaba River here,
which is slowly being distroyed by unbridled development which uses the
river as a dumping area. Why not grab a few for personal use to enjoy with
the Vermilion Darter skin covered dash. They are all soon going to be gone
anyway.

What the hey!
