Ride it and have fun.

I don't disagree that when you get the chance you might try to score a nice used entry level LBS bike like a TREK, Giant, etc. with index shifting and better brakes, etc. If you're happy with your Huffy now you'll absolutely LOVE one of those but in the meantime I like what you've done. It looks so much better, you have the satisfaction of having made it uniquely YOURS and when it finally kacks it will owe you nothing. I say ride the wheels off it! After you flip the front tire around of course.
