Wheel well rust

[omegac1]

I have a new to me 1971 Barracuda. I want to add the "chrome" wheel well trim but I remember back in the day my 1972 rusted where the screws holding the trim went thru the body. How can I attach the wheel trim without causing future rust issues?

Make sure you get a good primer into the holes. Even if you brush it in, make sure the bare metal is covered where you drill through. Might want to put a little primer on the screws when you run 'em in, too.

Might want to ( carefully )try some POR-15 in the holes.
