    Lots of guys around here are "contractors" -- usually 2 guys, 1 old pick up truck with some magnetic signs on the doors and more confidence than experience or resources.

    I respect anyone who wants to work to get ahead in life and understand we all need to start somewhere -- that said if I was going to spend several thousand dollars I would prefer to have a more established contractor.

    That must be what is left when you cut off all the rusty parts of a Durango.

    Those things elevated rust to a professional level. Guy at my work came out for lunch to find his fender flare laying in the parking lot, everything behind it had rusted away. Within a year all 4 had fallen off.

    Going to stay busy as possible in the shop today. Just a few mounting plates for IT people to finish up then tidy up shop a little better.
    Possibly look for material to fabricate a custom door threshold. Yes that's correct a custom one off door threshold.

    Doing your own projects tends to come out better.

    When your not burnt out from your 60 hours of work doing the same thing.

    Yet people try and claim Toyota`s are the only vehicles that rust.

    They don`t get out much.

    I had a bunch of AMC built Jeep Wagoneers back in the day, the real ones with body on frame and V8 power -- I know a lot about rust...

    The only thing that can rust "better" than a big Jeep was any light truck built by International Harvester. :rofl:
