Mike you have a very rare car. I have a 74L but a 5S has always been my dream. Whatever you do I wouldn't change anything that can't be altered back without difficulty like altering the coating etc on your inner fenders. All parts removed I would clean, bag, and label for safe keeping. With that being said I am often a "Day 2" type of mod guy that likes some period correct personlization. Your block and ZF look clean I think a simple addition would be polished Detomaso valve covers, to add some shine. Polished coolant tanks would also brighten things. Your intake manifold and its hardware could use a good detailing. It could be switched out for a polished one, but a good cleaning leaving it natural might suffice for you. Polishing or cleaning the fins on the Detomaso air cleaner label will make a difference too, as would the ones on the valve covers. What you have is beautiful, a little elbow grease and an SOS pad may make a world of difference for you. That air cleaner assembly is so cool. Good luck!
