Today had to pull the headers as no access to put in middle bolts. Installed factory manifolds, distributor, pulleys, front shocks and started the wiring.

It's just awesome. What size tires did you go with?
I went with 255 60 15 rear on 15x8 rims and 215 70 15 front on 15x7 rims.
Also have a set of
Mickey Thompson et streets 255 60 15 on 15x10 rims.
 
They clear with no issues. Stock frame rails, no notching.

Well rough two weeks. Had to change frame as the one I had was twisted and misaligned. My dumb hurry to get a frame and did not check for accuracy. I got a new frame and transferred everything over to new frame and installed it. Also installed the wiring and the support braces across front of frame area. plan is to have it running next weekend.
 
Installed dual exhaust which I need to adjust more, all the wiring, 15x10 rear wheels, drive shaft safety loop, engine accessories,ac and alt, except power steering. Plan is fire her up this weekend.
