Well, the original paint does have some character but at least your revamp looks quite classy. Have a look at tweaking your bar angle up a bit - riding in the transitions does not look comfy, and the brake isn't exactly handy. I'd also slam that stem.
Facing the headtube helps make sure the bearing races are dead parallel. You might get away with it, or you might get premature wear. Probably not gonna be a big issue.
