You're right about the shifter, too.

I fully intend to build the way I want and wife can enjoy, thanks! As far as the next guy, I'll just point out the issues, he/she can take or leave it.

If you decide to paint it, you should really consider the painter I used up in Sacramento. Guy does great work at a fraction of Bay Area prices.
