Trans is your choice (O.D. or not). I find the old style Jag rear is fine, but the exhaust should exit in front of the rear wheels. Torque Thrust wheels are nice and the color should be whatever you like. Good luck with your build.

I am with you ... going for the complete heater / defroster, it will come in handy. I might have to go with the smaller steering wheel, space is an issue for me. I'll do some more research on the rear suspension, both are probably equally good choices for me.

Color ... black is on the list (know it's your favorite) ... but probably a deep blue or dark BRG or ??? ... I have a bit to go on this decision ...
