Andrew,

Welcome to the list.

First of all, not sure where you got your research material but black over 
white was not available. White over black was. You may wish to sort your 
colour choice out before deciding on interior colours. For instance as 
another thought, black cars were available with red interiors/black piping.

1. The white for a 1961 BT7 would be Ivory white, quite a warm creamy white.

2. I have been using Heritage products for many years and continue to do so. 
Send them your seats and have them build them up. Get their Karvel carpets.

3. Black interior with white piping...the white was ivory.

4,5,6  I'll jump past these, I'm too much of a purist.

7. Join the AHCA and the AHCUSA.
