cheap(ish) proper rust repair!

[Adam1978]

that is exactly what i need lol, my car being 33 years old daily driver, almost all of it on the east coast miles from the beach, you can imagine that there is a fair amount of rust on this baby. what i am looking for is a shop that will do a decent rust repair job for a fair price. i can find cheap cheap jobs, but i dont want a firerbglass and bondo mesh repair, im looking for actual metal lol, thanks! oh btw i need central jersey however if they are cheap enough i'll commute.

Can't say we're cheap, but we're damn good. Shoot me a PM for info and pricing. Be sure to let me know what kind of car you have and how bad the rust is.

[Adam1978]

Pm sent

doing it the cheap way and doing it the proper way are kind of on opposite ends of the spectrum

[Adam1978]

lol i didnt mean cheap i mean the cheapest proper way, the 2000 is the cheapest so far because i found someone that charged 800 a panel, think of it as shopping around lol

With resto body work you 100% get what you pay for. Be careful shopping for "cheap" places. You really need to find a place that takes a lot of pride in their work and refuses to do things the "easy" way. Which puts you past a certrain price point in most cases.

Abso-freakin-lutely. This is definitely a case where you get what you pay for.

If it only takes him a week, there is a problem. Unless they have 30 guys working on the car at once! Normally a restoration isn't a job that gets rushed.

100% Agreed....I was gonna let that one go but since you pointed it out I decided to chime in.

You never know guys....a few cans of Red Bull and a bottle of Stacker 2 can go a long way.

Hahah.....I'm sure you didn't really mean a week.....but just wanted to make my point.

Overhaulin'.....you should see some of those cars in person. Let's just say the camera hides a lot.

And I've never seen them do a restoration.

A crate motor, crate trans, custom paint job, and custom interior, yeah.

But that doesn't involve the nitpicky ******** that using old/repro parts does. Or the burden of being "correct".

Exactly, and tell them to bring them back after a few years of driving them. The supplies used to restore a car need a proper amount of time to cure, when you rush it like that, its not going to come out good or hold up very long.

[HardcoreZ28]

I personally know a guy who worked on the T-bird that they Overhauled.....he said the body was so wavy after you could surf on it!

[Adam1978]

although not gunna lie, i would still love it if they did that to my car lol new engine tranny interior floor pans and sound system? i'll take a wavy body lol
