Looks like a good solid base to start with & your doing all the right things to it.
Would look even better on some nice 15" bbs.

Update:

so i grinded down all the arches, ku-rusted all the fresh metal and gave it a light skim of filler. after i left the filler to harden i gave it and rub with wet and dry sand paper. after i had rubbed it down, i applied another light skim of filler. a final sand and it was ready for for anti-rust primer... ill let the pics to the talking
