I am the proud owner of a '65 fastback, with ~320 hp 289.  I enjoy
stock/original Mustangs a great deal, but would like to make
this one handle a bit better than Ford sixties parts will allow.
Does anyone know of any dealers or parts; suspension or steering,
that they would suggest I look into?  I am especially interested
in RP steering, or power assisted steering, as the original
manual steering is too loose and vague, and the Ford power units
make the road feel about a mile away.  A list of parts I already
know about/have follows:

koni shocks
stiffer/higher rate front springs
relocate front control arms
frame stiffeners, ala monte carlo bar, export brace
larger front/rear sway bars

Any other hints/pointers greatly appreciated.
