Welcome !
Sounds like a really great project with some even greater history to it. My father is responsible for my headache..... I mean interest in car building too.
The plan you have sounds awsome. I would suggest staggering the wheel combo... 17's are great for the front, but the natural rake of the charger may want some 18's in the rear. I think adding the black bumble bee stripe is a great idea because it will accent those black spoked Pentias.
Looking forward to seeing some pics as you progress !
