Making the grown up decision

which information???

this is what the op said.. "Paint is still shiny but if you're fixing rust the whole car should really be painted." so that $8500 is for the rust fix and paint..

or that $8500 isn't bad for the fix and quality paint work?

i know a couple guys that do body and paint on the side. that **** isn't cheap. i'm talking quality work not ,some maaco crap work here... look at some of the threads on paint work on different mopar forums.. $8500 is on the cheap side for quality work.. its just crazy man..

I guess it is all about where you are located. NJ had hamburgers that cost double also when when I was a kid when compared to Oklahoma. I recall that really well because my neighbor's oldest daughter made several comments about it when she was visiting Oklahoma. In Oklahoma $8500 is a total rip off if that is all the rust (as he stated) in that car even with a total repaint with color change. This car is metal not full of a bunch of plastic crap you have to buy. Looks like there is a Canadian seller on eBay (smsautoclassic) that has patch panels for the quarters at $159.95 each side.
