Don't blame you, I think the street 289 is very cool (and a real sleeper).
Are you going to run wire wheels? I REALLY like that look. Looks like a british sports car with American Muscle.  |

That is the look I want too, but will wire wheels make the budget, that is the question.
I already own a set of 16" Rota Minilite replica wheels. We will see if the budget grows to fit in wires...

Trunk Modification:
Any builder of a Factory Five Roadster knows there is wasted space located under the floor of their trunk. The Fox Mustang gas tank has a vapor expansion area to one side and drops down for 2/3 of the tank. For my first build, I did not take advantage of this modification and have be kicking myself ever since. 
Extra trunk space 23" X 17 1/2" X 6 1/2"
This trunk mod has been one of key selling points to the Wife, I have made sure TWO cases of wine will now fit in the trunk. As far as she is concerned, this Cobra will be twice as good as my green Mark III! Should make for a lot of fun during Snakes & Grapes!

Pat,
Sounds like a great project. We need more good build threads on this forum, so looking forward to following it.
I considered using the same Alfa speedometer on my FIA build but the way things fell, ended up with a Jaguar [5" Smiths] instead. The style of the Jaeger speedo and tacho will suit a 289 roadster nicely.
Cheers,
Glen
