First off, I would like to say I LOVE the concept that you're going for with the resto-mod '64. I'm preparing to do the same with my '69 LeMans. Needless to say I'll be watching this one very closely.
On that note I've got a couple of philisophocal questions for you:
1) Why did you choose to go with the crate motor instead of (for example) a used truck motor or a used LS-2.
2) I noticed that you're making provisions to use the original-era mechanical guages. Are there vendors that convert original style guages to electronic such that they would work with a newer PCM? Or is that not an option..
3) For the wheel/tire combo, have you considered (although they are pricey) the wheel vintiques steel or aluminum aftermarket wheels? They have the original look, but come in 17" and larger for better handling.
I'll probably have more as time moves on, but again, I love what you're doing!
