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.

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. :rofl:

[Adam1978]

lol i didnt litterally mean a week, and besides! Overhaulin' does it in a week lol

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
