New tires and hidden body rot...
 
3 Attachment(s)
So I decided since my local Discount Tire had 4 35x12.50r15's I would buy them and make them fit. I hate the trim on the side of the body, so I decided to remove it. Man what a PITA that was. On the passenger side some of the molding was cleverly hiding lots of bondo. Looks like I have my work cut out for me on the passenger side. The driver side is darn near perfect, or close enough to for me at least. I also threw on a Edelbrock 1405 600cfm manual choke carb. I got tired of messing with the Holley 80457 600cfm carb. And yes I did cut the body where I marked in preparation for the Bushwacker flares I am going to put on. I'll need new wheels with a different offset so it doesn't look goofy when I mount the flares.

Looks more like body damage than rust,at least.Are the Bushwackers cut-outs or do they make extenda-flares for these,now?

The Bushwackers are the cut out kind. The lines you see drawn on the body are how they want you to cut the rear in preparation for the flare installation. If I get the flares I will have to get a different offset wheel so it doesn't look goofy. But first I need to get the AC going since it's already gotten over 100 degrees in Phoenix.
