Very nice!  Honestly, with what you have in improvements, you should go with some 17" wheels and tires.  Would handle a lot better than those 15" all season sedan tires (I have the same tires).

I ran out of money at some point.  I was remodeling my house and had 2 kids in college and I was working on a masters.  Now the retro look is growing on me.  

Once the tires are shot ill make the change.

My carb (speed demon 750) has recently just started acting up A kit didnt help it, it floods the car between 1/4 and 1/2 throttle then clears up. Im guessing ethanol porosity damage in the transfer circuit. So im going to put an ultra street avenger 670 (ms/ec) on the car. Anyone else used one?
