The wheels consist of Firestone ww tires, on old Volvo "sugga" 15" rims. This old Volvo have actually the same bolt pattern as the old Fords
I painted the rim in a green sort of color. I think red is to common and black is dull.
	Here ive got a lot of tin back from the sandblaster. And I put a thin coat of paint on them to prevent more rust appering.
As you can see ther wil be som welding going on on this rear fender. And this is only one part of it , all fenders needs refurbishing of the 2" bottom parts.
	Here we have the frame before going of to be blasted (by sand that is). Its in really good shape especially if you think of the state the body was.
The body is waiting to go to the sandblaster. Now it looks quite good. but after sandblasting it will have houndreds of pinholes. But thats the way it is i suppose, and som tin and welding will take care of that.
