Not to be picky, but scrub those tires too and put something on to dress them up. 
And put something on the wheels like Rejex or wax to make it easier to clean when the brake dust comes.

THANKS for the great comments, All!
Ahhh yes, I see that now. OK, that helps....THANKS, Rich!
Jim,
Why yes, I'm going! I'll be leaving Ridgecrest tomorrow morning - want to make it there by 5:00pm for the reception. I'll be driving the '84 pictured above. You going??
HeeHee. I can honestly say I haven't considered TV, BUT I have thought about making video of some repair jobs - found my old tripod last week. Now just have to figure out how to attach video camera to my head while working under the car!! Someday..... Thanks for the compliment!

First pic is when I didn't even have it stored in the garage yet.
Second pic is at a recent (within the last several months) GTG.

Dwayne, do the front tires stick out of the fender with 225 and ET52? I have 205 and ET52 and they're about flush with the fender. I have to get new tires and want 225's but don't want ot have them sticking out.

I had not noticed until you asked this question so I went out for a look and used a straight edge to check it. At the top of the front fender well arch, the wheel/tire does not extend beyond the fender. However, as you move down the fender arch toward the rocker panel, the wheel/tire does extend beyond the fender a small amount due to the curvature of the fender. Hope this helps.

I've tried regular ol' turtle wax on my wife's wheels and it seems to work pretty good on cutting down brake dust. I'd like to try the Rejex, tho. I'll see if I can find some locally.

Rejex is a bit difficult to get...but here is the site
http://www.rejex.com/
As good as Rejex is I do prefer Optimum Opti Seal...due to its similar results but far easier use..

Currently I use Optiseal on all of my cars and all of the wheels with excellent results
