Re: Metal Work

I think your idea is the best, W.I.T.S....... use the stuff you have and fix it if you have the time. I do NOT have pics, but one of my projects was replacing a fender and I bought a re-pop to avoid the time looking for one. I ended up getting it home and cutting out the portion that goes behind the grill and replacing it w/ the piece off the old fender. I put about 4 hours into a 'new' fender because I thought the re-pop sucked.

I will not buy another re-pop. As a matter of fact, I just bought a beater to fix for my 'burb. It has dents and some rust, but I can fix it for cheap and it will be nicer in the end, and I will have less $$$$$$$ into it. I will have also improved my skills that much more, which is one reason I enjoy working on the trucks.
