Remember that if you want the undercar exhaust then you can't get the outboard braked rear. But since you're building more of a street car, there's a better than even chance that you'll never have to change the rear pads anyway. Think about what dash you want (some like or don't like the drop down dash). The quick-release steering hub is a little pricey, but there are some real advantages to having it (easier to work under the dash, theft deterrent, easy to change the orientation of the wheel because you might not want it straight). Powder coat everything, check your state laws on defrosters (some states actually require them), and then just look at every option that ERA offers and see if you want to buy it. The problem with that though is that every one of their options is really, really cool. While you're checking your state laws, check to see if you get any benefit from having a block that is a certain age (and thus bypass the emissions issue). Every state is different, but for some, having a "new engine" with an "old block" can really make a difference.
