Proper Start to Rust Repair
« on: May 23, 2013 - 02:33:24 PM »
Here is how major rust repair should start. The car has been stripped and primed 100% and is now welded directly to a frame table. Now you can check all the measurements against the factory specs before you start removing anything.

Kudos....to my new associates at Boothill Automotive in Erin Ontario  http://www.boothillauto.ca/   for doing it right the first time....
