Thanks for confidence boost Fitz but I don't think I'm ready to do a whole car just yet, lol.
My plan is to clean up the rusty spots, hopefully gain some experence on the way and in a few years take all the chrome off and paint it myself. I finally got plates on, it passed safety with flying colors.

Hey! Thats excellent news! So your road worthy now? I will be at the Pontiac trubute day June 1st. Come with your car to Pier one Imports Polo Park at before 6:45 Pm and we can go along with the parade to Birchwood Gm's lot that night should be fun. Go pickup today's Free Press you might see somone you know? P.S Look in the auto section. I think it will have some news and times of whats going on that day.

Thanks guys, any ideas on how to clean the white walls?
The rust stains are pretty bad, I was thinking of lightly going over with flap wheel on the
grinder
