This is my first restoration project and I am looking for tips from you guys that have already been through this. It was my first car, I've had it for 37 years. I just sent it off for body work and paint today. I'm doing a resto mod, I'm thinking rack and pinion power steering, A/C, things to make it more comfortable to drive. For the most part from the outside it will look stock.

Have you looked at the Borgeson power steering setups? Easier on the wallet. The new A/C systems from Classic Auto Air and Vintage look phenomenal. If your going resto mod T-5 or AOD should definitely be on your list near the top.

I have not herd of Borgeson so I will be sure to check them out. I was just going to go with a C6 trans, but an overdrive would be really nice, so I will check that out and see what the price difference is. Thanks for the suggestions.
