It's going to look great with the new wheels. I'm building a '72 Supreme and I know what you mean by a work in progress. I'm currently in the market for new wheels so make sure you post some pics when you get them mounted.

Are you running the high rise Performer RPM? If so how is the bottom end of your powerband. I put one one and lost alot. Good thing I put a shiftkit in at the same time and now rowing thru the gears helps a bunch. It doesn't help that I am running 2.73 rear gears.
