project: What did I get myself into 50 chevy

[blitz'd]

This is the 1st build ive posted on here in a while, im hoping to get some motivation to finish this thing. I told my wife this would be a quicky project last summer so I could drive it last fall. LOL didnt happen, full build time! Im a little OCD I think.

50 chevy pickup, picked it up out of fort worth, had a blown head gasket but no big deal. Was already clipped with V8. Heres what we got as of now:
camaro clip
camaro rear end (posi I think!)
72 z28 350
freshened up camel hump heads (2.02/1.6)
edelbrock intake/carb
comp 268 cam
HEI
new ez wire harness
cab and few other things are now painted, done in my garage not perfect but its just a driver no plans on showing it

Paint is PPG Flame red pearl metallic with a satin clear, firewall and interior was an afterthought its just a cheap vintage white I got at a swap meet. Plan was white walls and black steelies static dropped. I think ive changed my mind though, thinking about 18s and bags now. Enough bull**** on with the pics!
