Default RE: Restomod Advice

I already knew about the longer bell housing and input shaft on the '95 motor, I wanted the extra inch shift back, stronger tranny and I never wanted to use the stock console. Also I already found an adjustable transmission mount that will work and the fatman kit makes the power discs, '95 suspension, and rack from a '83 tempo bolt in. I'm also ordering the most of the replacement parts from NPD. Thanks for the concern but what I was mostly looking for was tips about odds and ends, like possibly where people located their computer, or how people created their custom center console, things like those that you really can only get experience from actually doing the mods, hopefully I have most of the major research out of the way. Thanks for the advice though it actually got me to finally write down the major plans down, and put it together better, now I have a clearer picture of the project as a whole.

One of the big things I was wondering if there is any sort of way to allow the car have intermittent wipers, as much as I have looked at the internet and forums, I haven't found a clue on how to do something like that.

Any other mods or advice to make this car a more comfortable daily driver would be great, also thanks to middiepride on the clearing up the seat issue.

build the console out of fiberglass and some foam, start with cardboard as a template. I believe in a mustang monthly I read a while back they put the computer on the inside next to the kick panel on the passenger side, it was in the car that had a terminator dropped in, they painted the computer to match the interior and you couldn't barely notice it
