Great comments Doug,
I'm trying to not get caught up in all of the upgrades/improvements you could possibly do as you reassemble the car but instead, capture these in a long list, prioritize the list and only do the minimal/important upgrades so you can get the car assembled quicker and use the vehicle while you decide on which upgrade is next.
If you were in my shoes and, given the guideline above, what would your short list look like?
Again, Thanks for your assistance
My list is really limited by the budget. I have my car since 1985. The only thing that I am sorry for is 1) cutting the front hood to put the "Hitbachi grills" in and cutting the rear deck for the Webers.
Neither was necessary. I kept the cut outs but only the rear could be put back in.
EVERYTHING else has been worthwhile.
I would add, stay away from the MSD ignition. You will be sorry for that if you do it.
The P-E ignition so far as I know is the ONLY ignition that will actually fire a fouled plug and CLEAN it up.
I suppose the old "racer's adage" of how fast you want to go is only limited by how much money you have to spend or maybe, how high is up are applicable in this instance?
You can run the risk of just living to work on the car and never get to drive it too?
