You need a little more tire under the back. Very wicked ride, love the whole look. Nice thing about old cars, there are so many ways to build one. You saved one that looked pretty rough too, which is always good.

That is one radical ride you built
You pulled the big tire look off perfectly. Your friends are probably jealous because your car is faster than theirs 
Me: I don't know how to build a hot rod.
Old Hot Rodder: You ever build a model car?
Me:Yeah...
Old Hot Rodder: Well instead of using glue you weld.

After writing this reply I took a look in some of my old stuff, low and behold there that car was. So here's a pic but man they are small maybe you can telll a little about it though.

Well I got the roof done, car is blasted and epoxy primed and waiting for me to start body work. I made an engine rotessieri out of 2 engine stand work great. Everything that wasent chrome on the front end is at the platers getting chromed. The headers are being cermic coated. The engine is at the machine shop getting freshened up. I need to hurry on the body work now
Sorry for some of the crappy picks.

I'm impressed
Just found your thread, and I like the look of your ride. I'm building a 31 sedan chopped 4 1/2" and channeled 4". I'm using a 65 409 with six 94s on a 200r4 tranny and 9" rear. I want to raise my rear wheel wells to fit the rear tires and also want to flush fit my doors. I would appreciate any picture of your method for the doors and the rear wells, and any advise you can add. I'm still working on the floor framing and reskinning my doors right now, but the flush fit is the next step.[ATTACH]
