Great Points. I know the race car for the street problems. But this is temporary untill I get the 86 done. BUt to do that I need to get the 78 done and out of the garage. Short trips to work, but it will be towed to the tracks.

I'll warn you (again...) that real race cars are no fun on the street. Too loud, way too rough-riding, can't pass smog, brakes are not theer until the rotors get pretty hot. BTDT, got lots of t-shirts, etc. It sounds like a cool idea at first...
I drove an almost-legal 911-motivated parking-lot gran-prix car on the street for a while when I was young and immortal. Finally decided to get a bit of safer tank-like American car for the commute to work and school. Took the 'new' car on a 'new' date, and was asked to turn the heat on. Huh? I hadn't driven a car with heat in years, and never thought about turning it on until she said it was too cold to take her clothes off... Ahem.
If you do plan on street-driving it, leave all the electrics in there bacuse you'll need most all of them. Some of the HVAC wiring will go, but that's not really enough to make it worthwhile removing. Im my experience anyway.
