    While taking off my right fender to start my winter chore of torque box and floor repair i ripped holes in my rocker and broke the bolt hole tabs of my fender. I'm guessing that everything was rusted up pretty darn good. So now i need a rocker and new fender or the rear lower portion of the fender.:mad:

    "I'll paint any car for $39.95". LOL I can still see the billboards.

    Sounds like Maaco. Guy at the local shop told me they have to process 16 cars a day to make a profit. They hire a bunch of youngsters to scuff and mask the cars.
