Default 66 Caprice Custom/Classic Coupe

I am restoring a 1966 Caprice Custom/Classic Coupe. This particualr model has volume controls in the center console. The module itself seems to work, but there was a "sticker" on the outside of the buttons which i am trying to find (see attached picture). Any ideas on where i might be able to find this?

Also other then the usual ebay, harmons, impala bobs where else is a good place to find replacement parts for a 66 Caprice? I have been able to find most the parts i need from these sites however always looking for more options.

The car itself is in good condition considering it sat in a garage for 35+ years however most of the chrome parts are pitted, needs new paint, interior and engine overhaul.

Thanks
TM

Picture attached. Most of the rust is surface rust, there is cancer in the rear fenders toward the back. Amazingly after 35+ years sitting on flat tires, those tires have been holding air for over a month now! I am going to try to make it mostly stock except for paint, wheels, and tires. The stock wheels/hub caps are UGLY! Im thinking a medium-dark blue for paint , some 17-18" chrome aluminum wheels. It has a 396 in it right now but it is seized and im thinking about seeing if it can be bored to a 427, of course all the 396 badges will remain.

Again if anyone can help me with my original issue of finding a replacement "sticker" for that center console....

Thanks
