Ricky: Yes, the wheels are 17" from Fran. I had Goodyear Eagle F1's drop shipped to Fran (215 45 x 17 fronts and 275 40 x 17 rears) the alignment/ride height is not set, however they do appear like they will fit the wheel openings. They will turn lock to lock as they are now without hitting anything.

Mark: I did not know that Dean had polished his chassis, I will have to look at his build page. My plan as it is today is to get everything mocked-up (holes drilled, fasteners in, cables, tubes etc. routed) then do a complete disassembly. I will then have the bottom sprayed with truck bed liner material. Then I will polish the chassis and assemble the car. If the polish does not work out I will go with the brushed aluminum look.
Thanks for the complement on the headers, I plan on fitting the rear clip one more time (measure twice........) before I take them off and send them to Jet Hot.
