Probably asked a million times - 1957 Chevy Fireball Roberts - how do I get there?

I'd like to build the 1957 Chevy that Fireball Roberts ran at the 1958 Darlington race.  It appears to have had 6 lug wheels, carburetor and not fuel injection, and presumably a basic rollcage - which I guess was black.  I have the Fred Cady decals and that's about it.

The goal:

 

Available kits for me to pick from:

Was considering using the Revell Black Widow kit for chassis and interior, although the FI engine would be incorrect.

Thoughts?

The yellow car AMT Pro Shop Bel Air should provide the correct body. The others are nice kits, but the body side chrome trim isn't as accurate as the Pro Shop kit. The correct six lug wheels can be found along with the Fuel Injection engine in the Revell Black Widow kit. Six lug wheels can be found in many of the GM truck kits and they would be accurate since that is what the Chevrolets from GM with the factory race suspension used.

Plastic Performance has the six lug wheels and matching tires. You can get them at Mike’s Decals and Model Roundup. I’m sure there are other places to purchase but these are the spots I know.
