-Dual-line brake system (still manual drums though)
-Rebuilt drums front & back
-Chrome American Racing Tailgunner rims (wider than stock)

The engine & gearing is stock. Haven't gotten into the souping up yet. Just been restoring & rebuilding with my dad. Bought it when I was 16, been restoring it ever since (18 now). It was trashed when I bought it. Now I take it to shows and local cruise nights. Might just save the money I'd have spent mods to buy an R1. Just not sure if I can quite afford it.
And drive her in the rain?! Hell no!!! Did once though, got a burnout through all three gears up to redline. In the rain I drive an '88 Thunderbird.
If anyone wants, I could get some pictures up here probably. Just gotta figure out how.
