I think the fact that you have to use two amps to get quality sound tells a story. A normal head unit does not need amps.

That is true if a transistor radio sound is all you are looking for! Myself, I like a little more.

Took some pictures today and hubby is bringing home the tool to remove the seat belts so its almost ready for the new carpeting. We got the new dash pad from Eckers and I am thinking with the two tone interior of leaving the glove box silver gray and leaving the steering column silver gray and dying the bottom part of the door panel (the carpeting part) black - I figure its not going to match the new carpets anyway so why not make it black. Hubby wants to paint the glove box black and the steering column black. What do you think?

new seats with black seat back, which I think is better than the original:

back area with the old carpet out:

dashboard:

center console:

dash center console painted and pinstriped until we ran out of 1/16"

You asked for opinions so please don't take offense, but you may be headed for something that comes off as pieced together rather than deliberately 2-tone. If you want to match any of the new parts to your seats and door panels, the 82 Slate gray vinyl die from Mid America should get you reel close.
