Excellent choices, bucks wisely spent and best luck. Looks beautiful glowing in brushed ally.
Two tips:
Get the sub straps for the harness and use them.
Hide the red horns...

I agree with Chas re. sub straps- otherwise the harness sits too high on you!

Do the full harness sub straps go through the seats (as they should) or around the front of the seats?

Mine go right in front of the Seat, they work fine holding The lap belt down.

Thanks its a shame to have a slot for the sub belt in nice leather seats, I have used them round the front and its a good compromise!

A nice choice. I like no stripes.

Typical Chas. But seriously, what's up with the red horns? Does the Copper car have them too?

BTW, it may or may not matter to you, but it did for me. Originally my Kirkham roller had the straight shifter (like a 289) as well. Since I wanted my car to look reasonably authentic, I/we had to fabricate a new tranny tunnel to accomodate the shifter moving back to the original location so that I could run the dogleg-forward type shifter like the original 427's.

I also went for the wood steering wheel, but I'm sure many folks prefer the black wheel for driving around town, autocrossing or racing.

Everything boils down to personal preference. Best of luck.
