general Q's

Well its been a while, the old 72 gts been sittin in the garage since i ran outa time and money to work on it, mostly money, but anyways im back on track and put in a new water pump last week and it has been a daily driver for a week now. this meens its time to work on some of the cosmetics, and i was just looking for tips on mainly the interior, i have a decent interior from the parts car but it still leaves somthing to be desired, would it be easyier to make new peices myself, or buy other used ones in good shape, or are there any kits avalible for the whole of the interior? second, there is minimal rust on the floor pannels, but just enough to let in a draft, whats the easyiest and best way to fix those holes up? im also having a prblm with my brakes sticking, they just dont quite come out all the way, ive lubed up the rod that connects the pedal to the master cylnder with no results, is this a prblm in the master cylnder?
i also have a few long rang goals, such as a 5 speed transmission and new rear end and drive train, is there a certain car that would be the easyest swap those with without to much machining?
sorry this is so long, i wanted to get it all in at once. any info would be greatly appriciated since this is my first car rebuild, and i would like it to be a good one, eventully. thanks a lot
