Body work in NE Ohio
« on: December 17, 2008, 03:37:08 am »
Anyone have any recommendations?  I need a lot of welding done to my C10 and a paintjob for my Cutlass.  Anyone on here local?

How about learning to do the welding yourself?  Can you take a body repair class at the local Votech?  That's what I did.  Welding is a great skill to know.

I probably should but I don't want to mess it up, especially the body work.

Man you could learn to do it yourself. Its not as hard as you think.  I learned to weld and paint on my first custom truck and it turned out great. Get you a welder and some metal and practice then you will be ready for your truck. The bodywork and paint is harder but if you give it a shot I think you will be able to do it.
