Great. I picked up some 4 rivet uppers last night, but they were very rusty. I media blasted them tonight and they are very pitted, so I need to get some nice ones. It's a shame because I have some really nice 3 rivets ones, but they are 3 rivets lol

Are these '68 only or are '69's the same? I've got several sets of 69's.

Well it turns out that the ones I picked up are too rusty to use since they will be bare metal and they are badly pitted. They would be fine if painted as some high build primer would smooth them out nicely.

Do yours have any rust?

The first one pictured that I had tumbled has some rust pits but nothing like yours. The other two are pretty rust pitting free but need some small repairs that would be easy for a competent welder.
