Black suede would look nice, but how hot will it make your car in the summer? Serious question here, I don't know if using leather is gonna affect anything. Would look bada$$ if done right though. If you are getting rid of the dome light, why not run the wiring to the rearview mirror & upgrade to a newer style rearview with individual lights for each side? That should be an easy trick to save you in case you need the light.

the moon roof would be sick! I'm planning on doing that if my buddy can find me a moon roof! I would love to get one from a 78-80 Cadillac Coupe Deville, or a 78-79 Lincoln Continental.

Yeah but it has to be flush with the roof. Remember those ugly ones that would have the pop up glass? They always stuck up about 1/4" from the rooftop & were
