Well,
I finally decided to suck it up and just have the body work and painting
done by someone else. I have been planning to do the body work myself in
all of my "spare time". However, my "spare time" has been taken up with
work and fixing the house for the wife. So, one of the body shops that my
dealership uses is very good and they said they will give me a good deal.
Not much body work really. Just some smoothing out where the new rocker
panels were welded in and a couple tiny rust holes here and there. I
already took care of the surface rust on the body and was able to get most
of it primed. So once they do the little body work left the car will be
ready to paint. My main motivation for this is that i want to be able to
enjoy the car before winter. I am sick and tired of coming home from work
every day and seeing the dust collect on it beacuse i don't have the time to
work on it.
Just felt that i should tell someone my decision so that i could reassure
myself that i am doing the right thing.
Thanks,
Dave
