[VAC] Skin Rpair/Replacement
Hello All!
I'm a new and eager member here, enjoying learning all I can from the discussions. I'm still looking for my first A/S and have a candidate in mind. My question or request of guidance is that the rig I'm interested in has damage to the lower 3 sections on the rear corner and the panel below the rear window. Some of the damage is creased and some is not. Is this damage I could possibly repair myself (I have no aluminum experience, yet) or does anyone know of someone in the Michigan area (or vicinity) who could repair it? Next, what would a ballpark figure ($$$) be on skin repairs?
Are there any other concerns I should have with a 1957 other than frame integrity and general weatherproofing?
Thank You,
Jason
