For some reason I get the feeling this build isn't going to be collecting dust like some......

Very true. I think the trick is to just keep moving...a little everyday. Before long it's done. If all goes right, I'll be back driving it by Christmas.

(it almost looks like they're 7's front and rear with just a staggered tire package).

Thanks in advance.

JD I'm sorry I don't recall the tire size. The wheels where 15" though. I like the look also. You might entertain the idea of a mild PT build. Perhaps upgraded steering, brakes, bushings, springs, etc. Keep the classic look, but up the performance a bit.

Let me know if I can help any.
