 In-brand hot rod engine

Full body, not just a bucket or hood+firewall - different!

Good wheel choice

Good trans choice and setup with rear end

 bad upholstery

 Lots of pictures, rust under control

I should note, those look like GC/Voyager/PT seats, so while sacreligious, they're within-brand or close to. Derp.

Hmm. Needs more big-block.

Those wheels to not seem appropriate at ALL for this rod.

There truly is no replacement for displacement.

They're wheels more stylistically appropriate to a more extreme rod, to be sure, but the visual "not quite right" I think you'll find would be dissipated by just a touch of drop and maybe a touch of chop. They're old-school rod wheels and not rubber band-skin modern POS, at a minimum. Front is undersize, but better rubber would help, or a slight rework of the fenders.

I don't know I see those wheels for 50's through 70's outside of that window they just dont work for me.

They take work to make work, that's for sure. I've seen plenty of cars that they had no potential on whatsoever. This case, I think could look excellent given some redoing - as is they're a miss, but the gun's pointed in the right direction.

I call BS on the "in storage since 1962". Let's count how many recent additions the car has!
Late model seats
LED style brake lights
Modern Steering column
Modern Alternator
Modern wheels and tires
ABS battery box
And really? The floor in the back is the best place this guy could find for a battery box? Lame.

That being said, I would totally rock this car with some fine tuning.
