Can't back up more than about 5 feet

Finally got this Frankenstein ready for paint and I'm trying to back it out of the garage and I go about 5 feet or so and it won't go any further. I put it up on stands and discovered one caliper was frozen, so I replaced both. Same thing happens. I put it on stands and everything works fine, can go in reverse as long as I want. Put it down and it won't go. What am I missing?

Haven't posted in a while so a refresher on this car; It's a '48 Chevy sedan, chopped and highly modified with the complete drive train from a '95 Z28

Auto of manual trans?

As you may have noticed, nobody here any more. I'm pretty much the last man standing.

Auto. Yes, it's sad there's no one around. You have been a big help to me over the last year or so!
