The shift bosses look fine to me. Any perceived "misalignment" is probably due to the camera angle/lens distortion.
yes. Clamp on guides, revise the cable stop to the top of the chainstay and return to clamp on shifters, the bike I think with this geometry just would appear wrong.
Sweeping critique of the talent and materials required to restore the head badge. I do not think you have attempted to do one. If you have, please share your amazing results.
Don’t neglect the silver plating base.
