For the windshield there are two fixes: buy the more expensive chrome over brass windshield frame or change the windshield out to a Polycarbonate one. I went with the latter. It isn't DOT approved, but no one knows or cares to check. Plus it saves 15 lbs in weight.

I have read up on some fixes for the parking brake on here, but I haven't got around to implementing it yet.

Other than those two things, I've been extremely happy with my Backdraft. Mine has a 5.0 Coyote with the TKO600 5-speed transmission. It's a fun little car (but needs more power).

Good luck with your search!
Did you ever looked underneath ? Is your engine/transmission assembly parallel with the frame? Is the engine computer mounted on the fire wall behind the engine or somewhere else ?
