I have to disagree with Steven on powdercoating. Unless you plan to make numerous mods to the chassis or insist on a color other than black the PC at $399 is a screaming deal. I'm have kind of a take it or leave it opinion on cutouts (although for the sake of simplicity I took it both times).

...master of none.
Certainly not a pro, but:
Cut outs: I didn't order mine that way, but it came with them already done. While not terrible, I had to adjust a few of them to get them correct. I'll order the next one without them done.
Steering rack: As Jeff said, if you're not going with power steering, don't use the donor rack. I haven't seen much discussion on this lately, but when I was ready to order, there was much disatisfaction posted about the depowered the Mustang racks. I got the FFR manual rack, by Unisteer, and love it, but some prefer power steering. To each his own on this one.
Wire diet: I agree with David. It took me many hours to do my own, but by carefully labeling, using diagrams, and posting a couple questions, I was very happy with the results. When you're done the diet, you will really know the harnesses.

I used the power steering from my 2000GT donor and really enjoy it. It was easy to install and has been totally reliable. I recommend you use the donor brakes and ABS too. I mounted the ABS unit to the front frame brace. These brakes provide excellent stopping power. Good luck with your build, it is a blast!
