Well the drivers side is going to be butt joint but I may decide to go with a lap joint for the passenger side. I'll decide when I get there.
you should sell me those tires....

I definatly feel your pain...lol..Infact, I have some rust in that very same area and same side as yours. Im not trying to get ahead of myself though and just focusing on my frame and interior metal work first..If you noticed on my build when i finished my trunk floor i made filler peices in the trunk on each side where that gap is between the trunk floor and inside of qtrs. Thats why these cars commonly rust so bad there..But now that my trunk floor is completely sealed off i have no choice but to do a butt weld on the the bottom qtr repair, its not real bad but definatly needs attention when I start the body work..So anyway i hope maybe we can all help with sugestions if you run into a snag

IThe tires or the wheels? The tires are shot and the 2 fronts don't hold air anymore. It's been sitting for 3 years while I've been trying to get it into the shop. I've never seen tires fall apart like this but they're shot.
Kinda scary Aj.
That's not a bad idea. I need to see if I can find a burn out contest now.
you need to spend some time in the desert..... rubber last less than a summer out here in the sun.

actually, the rims are cool. The wires on my car are completley f*cked and I want to maybe go with a more original look, or I can buy some 20's:biggrin:
LOL Paint a bag of Skittles on it with some multi-colored 26s on it:biggrin: But siriusly, since its an 82, I would keep it original and just get some to replace the old ones... but I`m not your boss:biggrin:
It's a resto mod Jase so it doesn't really matter. I want to put it together like GM should've put the first GN together.:biggrin:
Well they're 14's so they're cheap rims from my perspective. I've got 9 15's and 2 16's right now to replace them. I just haven't decided which to go with yet. Aj's already partially paid for 2 of the 15's so he gets the slot mags and GNeric has spoken for 2 of the westerns that look like the WH1 wheels. I'm looking to score some 16" TTA fronts to go with the ARE wheels I've got but if that falls through them I can fall back on the others.:biggrin:
i fergots about thems.... you needs moneys charlie?

Doing ok Aj. Wait until Noble and I'll get it then when I deliver the wheels to you.:smile: Between you and Eric I will pay for part of the trip that way.:biggrin:
Well here's the latest pics. It was a bit of a b!tch but the inner is done and the outer is mounted now. My boo boo is very apparent but I don't thik it will be a problem. If I can get her done quick enough I'll be using her for my DD while I fix my regular car.:biggrin:
