This guy is doing major rust repair and a complete paint job in two days? It would take me two days just to do R&I's and mask. Are you getting a color change?

no this is all custom fab'd. I live in NE and everything is rusted out here. The shipping from like Arizona was nuts. Either they wanted too much for the part or wouldn't separate from the quarter, and the cost for shipping the full quarter was too expensive.
