Really nice work. Could you share a ball park $$?

Let us know how it turns out. I called Copperhead Collision and they're no longer doing rust repair but they did refer me to a local guy in West Chester who does rust repair at his home. I'm sending him pics tomorrow of my battery box and rocker panel to see what he says.

Did you end up using the guy in westchester? If so can you share his info. I'm right outside of westchester and I have so rust on my drivers side floor pan I want to get taken care of.

Was anyone able to contact the person in Westchester? I’m looking for rust repair in westchester and Fairfield county CT. Let me know if anyone has recommendations, thanks!

Have you done the spring perches yet as well? I'm about to buy the reinforcement plate and the spring plate. But I was trying g to figure out how they all line up. It looks straight forward by just marking the old position of the plate but centering the nub is questionable.

I saw you also commented on my profile regarding the position of the spring perch.
I made a jig to reference off of the other spring perch "nub" at the other side so the center distance is the same. Height I just measured the position of the old one and referenced the floor.
It's better to take too many measurements before hand then too less :)
