the short list;
new windshield
rearview mirror (maybe auto-dimming),
gas tank (done),
some new floats,
radio (maybe, eventually),
rear speakers (prefer 6x8s, if they'll fit),
wood steering wheel (walnut grain, if I can find one),
sequential turn signals (just for a laugh),
subs/amps (depends on what I can do with the paint/body and trunk rattle, I already have them, would need to do wiring, and build a box to fit).
touring shocks (not in a hurry on this, the ones on there still work well enough)
headliner (I like the faux bearskin as an idea, I don't know about how it would be in reality, maybe a switch to black would be nice though)
longer term/project level stuff;
(this falls into the "I haven't made up my mind about" dept. so there's a lot more either or, and one choice begets the next etc..);
motor swap, (soup up the 318)(get a 360 to build up/sell the 318) those two options would probably involve a rear end swap.
or magnum/overdrive tranny swap, (that's a bit trickier, but for highway mileage for 10+ hour trips, and ability to run modern gas, might be worth it..),
rims, (not sure what size/width/backspacing/style/etc..)
adjust stance (that goes with style, and what wheels and tire sizes I'd end up with)
