I have an 84 which is Black,

I am redoing the interior right now, Actually I hope fedex is on the way here with my heat shield kit right now ( I recommend one of these kits ) I did blk carpet with Med Gray door panels/Blk carpet. Grey arm rest, Grey shifter boot, Grey door sills & seat belts.. I will send pics once I am done, God I hope fedex gets here today, But not looking good...

Are you having the interior custom built at a shop or just reinstalling an aftermarket? One thing that I think looks awesome is to have all of the trim panels/bezels chromed or fabricated from sheet metal... and chromed, they work out well with almost any kind of carpet and upholstery color you throw in with them. On mine, I'm currently molding the parts one by one to do that with a black interior.

If you intend to rewire it, you could always switch to carb in the process - but that doesn't come highly recommended from some people
