With no power steering is it normal for it to tramline a fair bit? Normal for a bit of chatter in the steering wheel when I go over a rough patch? Normal for a fair amount of gas smell in garage with 302/EZ Fast1 set-up? (Seems to be running well.)

Better headlights should be easy; Halogen projectors, LEDs and HIDs are common.

Tramlining: Are you running bias ply tires? If so, yes. If not, have the alignment checked by a professional. Actually, have the alignment checked anyway. It's cheap insurance.
I don't think chatter in steering is normal. Again, professional.
On the subject of having a mechanic checking out your car, it needs to be the right guy, with experience working with modified/race cars, imo. Your local SCCA, Vintage Racing Association or whomever races cars in your area will know who to go to and who to avoid.
BTW, it is normal for a new anything to need a mechanic to check it out on acceptance and correct minor deficiencies.
