1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Finally found a fckn lion

 

does anybody know much about the best method to body work repair
need repairs done in the wheel arch area in the bed, very tight spot to get too!
i will travel to get it done if any of you have experience

 

Bondo and done

 

there are no holes (yet) that is what i am trying to prevent!
do you have experience repairing the arch area

 

If you find a good body shop with competitive pricing, be sure to leave a tip. That usually changes everything about service, priority, and pricing for your next trip.

 

i.e. i would rather keep this repair work 'in the TW family' rather than trying to hunt down some local bodyshop that knows how to fix it that i probably would not trust doing it properly in the first place
it's minor at this point (i think) but i really don't know what i am looking at

 

Google reviews too.

 

this Cars and Coffee pretty much says it all

please don't tell me i have to go and put ads on the 3rd gen section!

what kind of tip, like a good word of mouth?

 

at least 3 shops locally have screwed around with my truck that i have discovered
and i do not like it

 

I pay cash and depending on the job and price, may leave from $40 to $200. The highest tip was $200 to a mechanic who did a transmission swap for me 10 years ago.

He went on to open his own shop that is wildly successful today. That was some of the best money that I've ever paid for anything. It came back in the form of preferred care and pricing later own. Also, some valuable inside information that saved me a bunch of money from 10 years going forward.

 

one body collision shop i had it looked at earlier this year says i do not have a rust problem in this area of the bed
but i am pretty sure i do

 

What's that thing mounting to? You find that guy that was doing those sleeper mounts for oem bumper? That was pretty damn slick

 

You gotta be pretty decent with the español just by growing up there right?

 

Pretty nice condition despite the interior that suggests it should be filled with dip cups and monster energy caps (the ones from the huge can)

 

23 years of hard work paid off yesterday, the dealer service manager was giving my truck a very good looking over
while getting alignment check done

 

Cinco puto cuatro? you forgot the N, PUNTO

 

i think blue92 would appreciate the experience i got yesterday with FF drizzled all over the front area of my truck

Perfect start to my Friday. Reading some things like this make me wonder how people can be so cruel
