Ryan,
I'm still very much enjoying this thread. I can't help much, but I have a few ideas for you on your points:
2) What rear valance to use to hide the catalytic converters from plain view
How about a GT rear bumper with the mods as done by Fie Ro? He molded a GT wing into the bottom of a GT bumper. Looks darn cool. Not sure how it would look with your other mods, but it's a thought.
6) A new side marker light solution
(Assuming it's front markers you need) - I'm partial to the Mini Cooper side marker like Bubbajoe is using, or the 2003 Mazda Protege side markers (or something similar). I would like to add the Protege side markers to my car eventually.
Like I said, not a lot of help 
Andrew

Unfortunately, there is no chance of doing that. The inner contours follow the outer contours. You'd end up with two big ol holes there  I have a spare coupe bumper in the basement that I can dig out and take a pic of if that would help.

Thanks, I like that car and I agree that the rollbar should be higher especially with a windshield so low.
Here are a couple close up shots of the 1990 Chrysler Daytona Turbo front spoiler as requested (sorry I didn't clean it first...)

Thanks Andrew!
Do you have any pics of the side marker lights you are referring too?
Thanks for the info on the bumper pads - I didn't think so but it was worth asking.
I have seen the GT wing mod here on Pennocks before and I think it was genius.
I'll probably end up searching the boneyard to find something that will look fairly unique once the weather improves.

You're welcome Glad I can help in some little way. I'm looking forward to visiting Niagara one of these years and looking you up
Anyhow, the MINI markers that Joe used look like this: 
(I took this from his thread).
When installed on the car they look like this: 
The Protege markers are pretty generic oval / Euro side marker lights - 
Now that I've gone through that, I just realized you're probably looking for something closer to the end of the car than the middle. D'oh!

Ryan,
A Kamei rear might help hide the Cat. I believe there are a few of these floating around here on PFF.
P.S.
My LT1 is running. I need to get it aligned and the A/C charged. Still working on getting the Tach to work.

Thanks Bonzo, nice to hear from ya...
The Tach was a tricky guage to get working for me and it's still not accurate, details are in this thread.
I decided to focus on the cosmetic stuff first as the mechnical can be done anytime and the car is running fine as is for the meantime.
So I've got it back on the ground and am using an old boat cover of mine to help keep the interior clean.

I'm glad you like the stock backend I've got... but I think I kinda need it left on the car.
...Just passing through the forums for some info myself and found this - nice to see it's coming along, and a great read.
- Likely see you back in Fonthill this summer (maybe other places too)

Ryan,
I've been thinking about your front marker conundrum. Assuming that you need something for in front of the wheel to replace the lost light there, how about one of the vertical lights from a Focus GFX?
Something about the styling upgrades they did on that car looks really good.
Just a thought, worth $0.02 or less

Last weekend I got the door handles and lock cylinders removed on both sides on the car.
It involved removing the inner door panels to gain access to the hardware.
It should result in a smoother look once the bodyside moulding is filled in.
Now I've got to search on the best way to fill in the gaps and avoid future cracking - I think jscott had some info on this...
