What 'invisible' modernizations would you guys add?
I'm thinking about glove box light and light under rocker panels that floods ground and single beeps horn when door remote key fob is pressed.
Also, possibly gps tracker with wifi connection (I'm dreaming here, but find I'm more theft conscious than I was in 1965).
I don't want visible appurtenances or switches.
Suggestions welcome.

Re: Modernizations
Bottom line its your car, your money, your choices. That said, I have added disk brakes, electric wipers, mechanical brake light switch, anti-sway bars, electric fuel pump, and an ignition disabling switch. Nothing shows until you get under the car, and everything can be removed should the next owner want it all stock. Stereo systems and AC are also well worth adding but will be seen, so probably not for you. Lighting (especially the halo rings in the headlights) look very out of place to me, and may attract the undesired attention of local law enforcement. Its all up to you.
PLEASE invest a few bucks and buy all the shop manuals for your car. Definitely will save you much time and be an education.

Re: Modernizations
"Its all up to you".
First you have to acquire the thought. That's where suggestions from others come in.
Already bought a USA-740 radio. It's several days late arriving due to the storm. Am presently figuring out how to adapt it to accept 55-56 control knobs.

Re: Modernizations
Well, the USA-740 accepts the 55-56 control knobs and fits the Panel cutout.
Now, I'm thinking about the power windows. Has anyone molded theirs to operate like modern power windows?
