Where to purchase complete interior
Is there a vendor that sells complete interior trim panels as a package? Or do you have to piece together every part?

I got the carpet, seats and door panels from Willcox a while back (still haven't put them in) They helped with making sure all things matched. You might try there. They all seem to offer the package though.

Original parts fit best and should be refinished and reused if at all possible. Post up some detail pics of your interior; perhaps a fresh finish might be possible on some components. My 77 interior came from at least 5 different cars, and 2 new component vendors but it is coming together quite nicely after some intensive "rattle can" therapy. Rehabbing OE stuff will save you buckets of cash as well!

In my head I kind of think about buying a suite, you go one place find some nice slacks, you go somewhere else you find a nice jacket....you get home...the BLACKS DON'T MATCH....Solution...Buy a whole suite and don't piece it together!
Maybe this is not the case...maybe the dye is right on the money, maybe if I prep and spray right it won't fade a diff color, maybe the repro pieces will fit perfectly next to the OG pieces....there are a lot of maybes in there though.
But can someone tell me...WHY IN THE H*LL rear quater trim panels cost about $300!?!?!?!?! Hopefully those are in decent condition...I don't know if I can justify paying 300 bucks for that piece of plastic!

FWIW: use every stock piece you can possibly use. Clean it, dye it, repair it, restore it, whatever it takes. Nothing reproduction will fit as well as the stock pieces.
Ditto for good used stock pieces. Don't buy if you don't have to.

Alright, so should I try to hunt down used replacement stock pieces and just clean, dye and repair EVERYTHING and not buy any new pieces?
