2- Also when the car starts, the infamous “GEN” light on the dash lights up, what is that?
Your alternator is probably discharging. Have it rebuilt (do not exchange it).

3- As far as removing the old gas from the tank, any suggestions, siphon it out, or any additives, cleaners I should run through? I should be replacing the gas filter anyway, was thinking some good Techron gas to help clean her up.
Hirsh has what they call the best gas tank re-conditioner kit. I'm going to give them a try. Hirsh auto

3- Where can I find the rubber for the front nose\bumper (between fenders\valance and front chromo bumper?
Any restoration supplier: Classic, Ames etc.

5- Tacho and Rear spoiler? I believe the 400 67 came with the rear spoiler? It has the 400 hood, but no hood tachometer.
You can get a fiberglass rear spoiler on the trunk for 67/68. New after market tachs are available. Make sure you wire according to the ignition system you intend to use or you can fry it.

6- Suspension. I am thinking lowering the suspension all around some, maybe look into hotchkis? Do I need to replace the torsion\sway bar on the front as well, or the stock will suffice?
The stock torsion bar is weak. Get a free catalog from all the suppliers you can find and that will give you tons of ideas and options.
