K-Jack: great words, thanks. I may have to check out the Olthoff bar some more.

One of the main reasons I want the under-car exhaust is that I have a gaggle of young kids at home. I'd hate to come rolling up and have them gather around then get burned. So, this negates that possibility. That thought is really what has lead me to strongly consider the whole street approach.

I'll probably go with the comp dash layout (reverse speedo in center of dash...) only because I like it. Again, one more thing that can be decided come go-time.

The ability of each car owner to go for the look that he or she wants, while for the most part staying with a common general theme, is a strong plus to me. This contrasts, say, with some of the Vette crowd that goes for the total authenticity approach. Some of those folks end up being hyper-critical, and to me take some of the joy out of these toys. Guess that's why everyone ends up finding the hobby that works for them.
