Default Building up the Vette.

Hello all,

I have been slowly but surely putting more and more parts on the vette, and have been trying to make a plan for the rest (big parts). I've found many good tips within other threads.. Please point out if you think I am missing something?

( I will only cover chassis / drive train mods)
Currently installed:

Tunnel Plate (Elite Engineering 1/4th inch)
Coilovers
Swaybars
Differential Brace
Short shifter + Adjustable master cylinder
textralia clutch
SFK Racing Bearings w/ fastener kit
Bumpsteer Kit
Poly bushings w/ zerk fittings
CCW Wheels

Planned:
Transmssion Brace (ECS)
Engine Mounts (Poly)
RPM Transmission & Differential



Any other rear end mods I should consider? Already changing all the ball joints as well (to Moog) Trying to make it as bullet proof as I can.
