Thanks for all the positive comments Gang.

I mulled over that tire size purchase for a long time before I pushed the "Buy" button. These tires are tall. So was the one I used for mock up. I went with that size to get the white wall width that I wanted. And to get a tire that would fill the wheel openings.
When you look at the pictures look to the height differences between the donor and the custom. Headlight height vs headlight height. Grill opening. Roof. Things like that.
The height of the rocker bottoms from the ground is not that much different between the 2 cars. Although the donor car has really weak springs on it and it's sitting a lower then stock.
Also. It looks like I sectioned the hood on the custom as compared to the stocker. I didn't.
The rear end and the rear window area on the custom show the most amount of change.
I guess my point is that the eyes can play tricks on us.
I went with the big picture. The amounts of what I did are really incidental.
Its all got to work together.
Thanks again to all for the good words.
Keep on keeping on.....
