Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache

Possibly. I have two weeks for spring break, and I wanted to get all the rust repair finished on the '61, not repair some damage somebody did to my '77.

I'm still just a rookie at shrinking.

Estimates from most shops are 12-14hours. That'd be 24-30 hours for me, I'm sure. That's a week's work that I don't really want to do.

I've debated pocketing the compensation money and just do it myself, but I don't want to lose the time in my shop.
