Default 68 Camaro Part 2

I originally built this car while i was in high school. It was very bare. No AC/Heat, radio, or interior for that matter. I really wasn't too concerned about it back then. In college i wrecked it because i fell asleep (you would wonder how considering the car was crazy loud, finals, no sleep, dorms closed up).

After 3-4 years, work has started to slow down enough for me to start working on her again.

Current parts list:
Forged 347 LS1, ported heads, monster cam, ewp
Stainless Works headers
D&D T56 Trans
Denny's Nitrous Ready Driveshaft
Moser 12-bolt, 33spline, 4.11s
Autometer Gauges
Fuel cell in trunk

Planned parts:
Aftermarket sub-frame (leaning towards Art Morrison)
G-Link rear
C6Z06 brakes (seem to be the most budget friendly option)
Fikse 5 or 5S wheels
DSE Mini-tub
Vintage Air
Electric Windows (any recommendations?)
Ricks tank
etc, etc

What do y'all think about putting a '69 dash in? It will allow all my gauges to be centrally located as well as allowing an e-brake where the console used to be. Or has any body see an e-brake worked into the center console?

Should i keep the drip rails or remove them?

Here are some pics of how she looked before i started taking her apart. Car will be going to the body shop either this week or next week to get put in primer.

My body guy sent me some pics. It's actually ready for pickup but I am working till Feb so ill get it then. i gave him a few more things to do until then. Still trying to decide on rear suspension. I had decided on the G-link but now im worried about ride height after watching Rybar's thread.

I love that last pick looking from the rear down the side to the nose.. that is the best part of the 67/8.
And to comment on the suspension, I think Ryan resolved all of his issues.
Not speaking for him of course but read the last of his thread.

Thanks, I will probably give Frank a call on Tuesday and get the rear suspension ordered along with the mini tubs.
