Do what Dave said, put it back to what should be there and see how it sit's.
But the most important thing is to make sure it is mechanically sound. Start with brakes including new lines, then suspension and steering, motor transmission and rear end. I would recommend doing this first before you buy wheels and tires you might find that during this time you will change your mind several times on what you want the final look to be.

It is a great looking project, and it must still be pretty mean judging by the fact you have to keep it chained up like a dog
