    Rust Repair! Paint!

    For the past year and half I have been trying to get everything working mechanically on my car. There were teething problems, but everything runs great now. The whole time my wife was asking:

    "When are you getting it painted? When are you getting it painted? When are you getting it painted? When are you getting it painted?"

    I took the leap and left it at a paint and body shop this past Monday. (It is a Maaco that was recommended to me by a friend who had his Corvette painted there. This particular shop has a good reputation with a lot of positive comments posted.) I pointed out some dime-sized rust bubbles along the quarter panels and they said that they would look at them. They e-mailed me photos yesterday and said that the rust turned out to be bigger than it had initially looked and offered a choice of repairing it with fiberglass or sheet metal. I did some internet reading last night and told them this morning at around 10:00 to repair it with sheet metal. They didn't waste time getting started. My wife went by there at 5:00 and took some pictures for me. They had already put the metal patches in place and they look good.
