Default 68 coupe priority list

well my first priority is getting the front floor frame rail and torque box on the passenger side replaced. Other then that i dont know what to do.

i have new shocks and springs coming in from mustangsunlimited.com so thats next. and i just put a monte carlo bar in.

I want to get a bigger exhaust i think im like 1 1/2" now.

get a better carb. im using a 2bbl holley ATM.

i was thinking about getting 302 valve covers. not really sure what that would do but someone recommended it.

its a 289 and its in very good shape. i just dont know what to do to it first. stiffen the body or upgrade engine components.

also, i think i blew my powersteering motor. one of the hoses got loose and leaked it all and then it was running on no fluid. and now when i turn and dont give it any gas i hear a very unwelcoming sound. do i need a new power steering motor. or is that normal-ish?
