I’m mostly just being a cheap skate I’m a college student and am trying to save a few bucks for the next time my 83 breaks down. They aren’t spreading apart, but I’m just not a fan of having rust underneath my paint. Even if it is rust inhibiting paint. That said, I don’t want to ruin them taking them apart, so if I have to save up and have them blasted, that’s what I’ll do.
