That looks awesome! Pick ups sound cool as well.
It's possibly a little sacrilegious, but despite getting my Mustang in all-original 1978 glory* I immediately put a Dimarzio Tone Zone in the bridge, and I've been meaning to fit locking tuners and a graphite nut+saddles. When I was gigging it a lot it generally took a proper beating, hence the tape on the pots.
*I say glory, when I fitted the pickup I also redid most of the wiring as it was a total mess, despite appearing unmolested.

Oh bloody hell, I didn't realise it was a 1978!
You could always trawl Reverb for some original pickups, probably wouldn't cost the earth for a 70s Mustang...
I wouldn't bother with locking tuners myself, bone nut and good quality tuners will do the job really nicely but I would think about the Staytrem bridge or maybe get something made to suit?
That's pretty! Here's what I went with on my Duo-Sonic and it feels and plays superbly now, I didn't even go near the pickups but I do have my eye on the Lindy Fralin Mustang pickups...
