bwnuts,
congratulations. If you got a good deal on it, you could wind up way ahead with some simple changes to put your signature on it. I think what some here are referring to is it's too flashy for a Kirkham, and needs a little "raw recipe" added to it. My trick is sandpaper or machining to most anything that shines.
Just adding 15s with tires to fill the wheel wells a bit, and lowering it it tad is where i'd start on the outside. On the interior, yank the street rod door panels immediately, replace the front seats/recover them in black putting them back to a more orginal shape, and put black lower carpet in it as a start. That might break it up a little. The rest of it will start to fall into place and you'll then know what to replace from there.
