1969 roadrunner - what to work on first

I just bought my first muscle car, a 1969 383 roadrunner with a 4spd manual, a newer paint job and the seats have been freshened up I have a good base car to start with, now I need to decide what I want to take on first for enhancements.

Hoping to get some good ideas here!

Damn that's sweet! Brings back a lot of memories when we could pick those up all day as $500 beaters...not anymore. If the car is a genuine survivor, get the build sheet and outfit it as originally optioned, if its a tribute car, I would suggest going with upscale repro seat covers, deluxe steering wheel and even though the dog dish hubcaps really work with the overall look, I'm still a sucker for magnum 500 wheels and red stripe wide ovals. Most of all, have fun, of course it's hard not to have fun with a 383 magnum spinning a 4speed.

the heater valve is on the in side of the fire wall. they tend to leek water and rust the floor board then rust the torsion bar anchor. most people get a replacement valve and put it in the engine compartment. .
