JHD IV:
Just had my frame repaired, etc. Had some MAJOR
structural problems do to rust and past damage,
including DPO. Included cutting out bad sections
and welding in new framing, rust proofing (if can
be done) inside of frame where cut out, etc., etc.
Alot of work.
The cost was $1,300. I trust the shop and feel that
the price was good and the work is excellent.
For those in Central PA, the shop is Mount Joy Auto
Works (Mount Joy is between Harrisburg & Lancaster,
town next to Elizabethtown). Younger owner who really
knows his body work and engines. Developing a restoration
business in addition to his regular service. Highly
recommended.
