Shenandoah, I might also suggest attending the next COG or other Concours get together. You'll be able to talk to folks about mods that they have done, and some will really talk your ear off.
There is something coming up on the 23rd up in PA, hopefully the weather doesn't suck too bad.

http://www.zggtr.org/index.php?topic=15347.0I'm expecting about 15 to 30 riders. And the weather will most likely not suck. Avg high 76, avg low of 66.
Come on down and see us.
