im getting tired of buying crap yea it might be cheap but now its mine and i have to make the choice of saving it or letting it go to scrap mean wile the hole in my floor bord keeps getting bigger and yet i still have to fix that all thow the heater core is out if i crack the window the heat off the exhaust is nice lol but i need help.

where can i go to get good pannels that fit and having a crew cab makes it that much harder to find parts plus living in indiana dont help much because of the road salt everything in the junk yards are beat up or rusted out

ps. i HATE bondo and people who pile it on more then a 1/16th of an inch to cover up a huge dent/rust hole..... it makes me sick
