Thanks! So far, I have been responsible for taking it all apart, realizing that the body was structurally unsound and farming out the work to fix it. Twice.
Yes, twice.
The first guy covered up some rust with foil body tape and filler.
The worst part I'd that it was in the rocker panel which is structural.
Even the work that he did wasn't great and most of it has been redone.
He has since disappeared.
The guy doing the work now is a friend and is known for being meticulous. If I'd known him earlier, he would have gotten the job from the get go.
He's done more work for less money than the first guy.
My biggest fear now is that I will do something to screw all of his great work.
If you took it apart, you know how it goes back together
Be careful of the new paint, use masking tape anywhere two panels are going to be fitted, like the hood over the fenders, or the leading edge of the door to the fender. Don't be like me and try to put a bumper on by yourself. Get a helper!
