Default Car body work

There is a guy (maybe several) here that does this for a living.
Got me a car that needs some work.
Thinking a private person may save me some money.....as long as their work is top shelf.
Shoot me a PM or post here.

Work to be done over the winter. Car cannot be stored outside while the person has it.

Rust or collision repair?
Panel replacement or repair?
Restoration or a fix?

Pics would help.

Rust

Resto
I'll get pics as soon as able
Not being a body repair guy, I don't know if the areas have to be cut out & replaced with good from another car.

Been thru this with my Jimmy. Paid a back yard guy about 3 grand, then he died half way thru the project. Another back yard guy took some more of my money, drank all my beer, used my garage and tools, smoked all my smokes and ate for free. Made the original work worse. Finally bit the bullet and took it to Calgary Collision and Coach, more money but these guys are good and the paint is going on tomorrow. Posting pics when done.
Bottom line, a lot of times you get what you pay for.

generally back yard guys are cheap for a reason. I do autobody work all day for a good wage, why would I want to do it for cheap in my spare time?

That has chick magnet all over it

It's actually a perfect fishing set up. Low to the ground to put the boat on and room in the back for all the gear.





Or not
