That looks pretty good.

It looks a lot better at my clear coat spot sprays I did on my Beetle. Every time I saw a rust spot I gave it a little spray in hopes it would subdue the rust.

That’s great! I would happily fill up in Morgan Hill to get some bodywork done too! That must be one of those Sunset vans- the salty air there will eat anything.

That looks great, but not so great that you'll have a coniption fit every time you graze a tree limb. Love it.

Sorry I missed your question letsrig! I haven't much attended to it for 3 1/2 years and still like it better than it was before. Here's the 15 foot tease,
