Default what to do next?

i have all my body panels rust free, interior complete all i have to do is install my headliner, brakes done, suspension done, engine done. i can either get it painted now or get accesories like my console and other little details. i really want a standard steering wheel though but i cant find one. does anyone have any ideas of what i should do?

no

but go to a junkyard and get a v8 and then swap it in, new suspension and rear and everything. then come back and ask what to do next.

yep if you have the body done it will keep all your new suspension from getting overspray on it when you get it painted. but you will have to be careful when you install the new suspension not to hit or scratch anything.

brakes done, suspension done, engine done

since no one seems to have caught this part, i thought i'd revive it.
