Your interior is plainer than my truck interior. Roomier too, I have the cab forward design so less room in front of the bench seat. I bet that bread would be great for Talena's French Toast casserole. Cut into 1" cubes, Cut a block of cream cheese into 1/2" cubes. 8 eggs, TBS vanilla, 1/4 cup sugar, TSP salt. 1/2 cup raisins, mango, other favorite dried fruit optional, whisk eggs and all ingredients, place bread, cream cheese, fruit, into 9x9 or 9x12 buttered baking dish, pour egg mix over and let sit covered in fridge over night. Place in oven at 350 for about 45 to an hour. Remove when browned on top. So good.

What grit did you use to remove the paint and what type of sanding tool? I have a small room I’m doing for my home and had same white paint strips. Wondering if need to use a drum sander or if a square buff would work. Hoping to only have to rent one tool and not sure of the grit I should start with. Thanks

Big waste of time and money, but the city plan's inspector wanted them under the interior walls. However none of the walls are load bearing. With the Trusses we used we really don't need any interior walls. But it made him feel important I guess. It does make for a hell of a slab though.
