they should i got them from you haha.

yea, they are full of dust, just need to hit them with the pressure washer and some tire cleaner and they will look clean again.

i should probably pressure wash the whole car. im gonna have to take those cast pistons out from underneath the car. im going to start taking off the bumper and start sanding the radiator support. going to tape up everything now. and take pictures of where everyhting goes.

i am so screwed. im going to have to buy a set of front end bolts. off ebay, theres just no way ill find all the bolts and figure out where they go.

The tires are all directional, I think the rears are on the wrong sides.
Other than that it looks great!

Hey thanks Les,

i kinda felt insacure putting it upbecause i havent sanded and painted the PS pump. or the other fender well Holder(the rusty parts on the driver side that are noticable)

but i said screw it . It will probably be like that for another week till i have my history paper written. So i just posted it.
im going to wash it off tonight an ill post another pic, see if the cleanliness makes a diff.

Oz

You can't see the holes when you're going fast.

I guess you could bondo them or weld them up.

With me, the less chrome the better.
The only chrome on my car is around the windows and bumpers.

Thanks Old BLue 66.

im not a chrome fan either.

damn i guess the next thing i buy once the car is running is going to be a welder thingy, even though i dont have a clue in how to use one.

i dont like using bondo and i need to repair a fender. $$$.

it can wait.
a whole is not going to effect aerodynamics that much.( might go with fiberglass)
