Maybe thats not the heater core line, I thought they ran from the front of the eng. on SBF any how, clean.....looks like you got your self a keeper for the wheels they kinda do work, if you run something like the mag.500 wheel you will need new tires. Probably some meats in the back.If the wheels have an ok offset then warping them in new rubber and giving them a try would not be a wast of money as you can just use the tires on the new wheels if you hate them. the wheels I think are different and cool .

I'm stoked to get her up and nice I really dislike how the previous owner placed the modern radio in it though definitely going to have to find some better places for that. But overall the car is not too bad other than the small radiator leak which is getting fixed and the mean exhaust leak. Which will be getting fixed as well

Yeah don't doubt that paint job 'till you got it cleaned up. But I bet you're right, probably got a cheap spray by the previous owner.

Is red the original color?

Yes as far as I can tell it was originally red just probably started to fade out and the previous owner wanted to renew it... but just got a cheap spray job on it.

That's a shame. I know personally I'll be leaving my car in primer until I can afford a quality paint job.
Glad to hear you plan to do your beauty justice.
