I was going to comment that you might want to look into bigger wheels, but I think those are about right for the engine that's in there

What are your plans?

Actually, it's only a two car garage, and the other side is taken up by our Corvette, so it's pretty cramped. I spend as much time cleaning as I do working on the thing because once you start to let it go pretty soon you're tripping over everything. That's how I got this photo - pulled the Corvette out and cleaned the garage.

Plan is the basic restomod, 351W, toploader, nine inch, with a few tricks thrown in. Should be pretty cool if the plan works out.

It was stored for like 11 years, so it's somewhat rusty underneath from moisture. It's been re-done once already, originally bright gold metallic with an FMX. It's in decent shape, not great shape, but a good start. The good thing is a really good friend of mine has a restoration shop and lets me work there, too. Like they say, it's not what you know, it's who you know.
