Pics of the motor that I'm trying to finish asap

I'm stressing out about the wheel and tire combo. I know most people build a car around the tire combo, but I know new wheels come out all of the time, I just did not want to buy multiple sets throughout the project. If anyone has an Idea of a wheel/rim let me know. The 65 is not as cool as some of the camaro builds but, it is different and this is why I'm having such a hard time choosing.
I'm bolting on the rear bumper this weekend. I did this whole car in the my garage, I used a paint shops spray booth to paint and had a friend/perfectionist do the panel work and spray it. We are just doing the final wet sanding and polishing.
I just ordered my License plate JEKLNHYD and if you read the write-up on later-g you will see that I wrote that a couple of years ago and it finally clicked that it should also be the plate on the car.
I've spent a lot of time with my 2 girls now the age of 13 and 12 yrs working on the car. They are amazing technicians. Kristina my youngest was the front end specialist and Talia my oldest helped with assembly of the LS6 and setting up the rear suspension.
As I mentioned earlier, the car never left my side because I thought I could finish it sooner than a shop around here in Long Island NY but maybe I was wrong - it has been almost 4 years. All that I do know is that the car is perfect so far, and I can't imagine anyone else being so complete in detail without costing my Kids College fund! (LOL)
I also have a Polished Magnuson with modified pulley that delivers 14lbs of boost on my forged bottom end. This is where the Jekyl and Hyde comes into play, have you ever heard the whine/scream of a Maggie under boost? It's is scary.
Thanks
