Default rust spot(people who have had theirs fixed)

Well the rust is starting to get bad on my rear quarter panels. How much did it cost you to have the spot cut out and blah blah...?

That's not bad enough to have cut out and rewelded. You should be able to get that fixed for not that much. Show pics of your whole car, looks real nice.

I believe Summit racing sells a elecdtric kit that will STOP they rust from getting any worse. I work by sending a current threw your car preventing rust from forming or getting worse if you already have rust spot, this kit was featured on the last episode of "My Classic Car" it hooks to your battery and has 4 connection points on the car to make sure the current is flowing over the entire car..

As far as repairing it goes, your going to have to remove all the rust and make a few patch panels and weld them on. I would say around $500 to get it fixed and repainted..
