Re: New Wheels and tires... What do you think?
 
Well so far i have about $3500 into her but i plan on doing a full restore on her in the future keeping it original. I doubt i will do any custom stuff to it. I just love the way she is now. There is diamond plate in the bed over the original wood so i plan on doing a oak floor and very minimal body work is needed. Gotta love the southwest for the rust issue. She has a little rust on the drip rails and some bubbles on the front fender but other than that the body is straight. To answer the question on how much i am going to spend i would say that depends on the wife but little by little there really isnt a budget.

There are a few dents in the hood but nothing that cant be fixed. The interior was in tact and unmolested when i bought it. Here's what it looks like...

The engine bay needs to be cleaned up a bit.

This should keep Joe happy for a little bit... I know you guys like pictures. Now i just need to fix the turn signals - i replaced the hood harness and still no turn signals front or rear. Im thinking it is the turn signal switch...
