Some of the body work had cracked allowing water beneath the paint... Which caused rust. Which I ignored for a couple of seasons.
I signed Holly's 83 pickup and my 4Runner up for the Toyotafest in Long Beach, so I finally decided to tackle the nastiness.

I welded a straight edge to the panel to get it back into shape, since my first attempt at flares warped it to the point it needed way too much filler.
Then I shaped new steel to replace the old flare. I have a lot to learn still, but it's leaps and bounds better than what I had done the first time around.
The new flare required significantly less filler. I just picked it up from paint today. Now to clean it up in time for Marlin's service next weekend.
Oh... I also had thrown some 40s on it, but after flexing today, I'm going back to 37s. Too much interference
