Hey TexasEd,
I like your overall vision statement as mine is very similar with a bit of a lean towards the Pro-touring/Restomod vehicle. I wanted more modern drive and conveniences of a modern car, but had to keep the original body with some slight changes that don't stand out drastically, but to make it slightly different.
A quick list of modern conveniences:
Vintage Air AC
Unisteer Power Steering
Cobra Disc Brake upgrade
FiTech FI
TKO600 Transmission with Hydraulic Clutch Setup
Upgraded Radio with Kicker Components
Street or Track Upgrades Suspension
TMI Covered Foxbodies in Mach 1 Upholstery
3 Point Front Seat belts
LED tail lights and Halogen Headlights
Body Changes:
Removed 1/4 Panel Emblems
Removed Trunk Letters
Removed Rear Wing/Still need to add Front Spoiler
Paint Whole Hood and Cowl Flat Black
Paint Tail Panel Flat Black
Painted on Side Stripe with Body Color Showing through for striping and MACH 1 lettering
17/18in Bullitt Wheel Combo
