My personal tastes is not with the highly modded cars either, especially with the o-ring tires.
Usually what happens is the builder ends up stripping everything from theses vehicles that makes them look like old cars, and they end up looking like a poor copy of a 5 or 10 year old used car.
But hey....that's my opinion and you know what they say about opinions...
Honestly putting my personal tastes aside though....your build looks like fun, and I wish you the best with it.
I'm about to finish up my total rebuild of a 54 tudor where I swapped in a modern engine/trans combo, so I know the effort that goes into one of these builds. It's a big challenge, but oh so much fun.

This statement might cause some people to look for an engine that does not exist.
There is no such thing as a 400 P/I or P/C (Police Interceptor/Police Cruiser) engine. All 1971/79 Passenger Cars w/400's came with 2V carbs and single exhaust.
In 1975, the 400 was detuned for smog, and became a gutless wonder. The 400 was last installed in Passenger Cars in 1979..
1971/73's Police Cruisers came with the 429 P/I engine. 1974/78's came with the 460 P/I engine. 1978 was the last year for 460's in Passenger Cars.
