Ok, I gotta admit I let this project sleep for way too long. Ive made very little progress in over a year until today. Today I replaced the alternator and battery which solved my charging issues. The car starts up and runs now very easily and my next move is going to be towing it to my buddy who is more of an expert than I on tuning carbs. Once its driveable, ill get it registered and start installing the footwork :)
