Cheap Rust Repair

There are dozens, maybe hundreds, of techniques and products that have been used in the past in order to effect cheap rust repair. They do not work. Poor Mans Restoration has removed and replaced most of the common cheap rust repair attempts. There is a reason that restoration pros call rust ‘cancer’ and ‘rot.’ Once it starts it does not stop unless it is removed. Sure, it may be slowed down or covered up but we all know what is going on. Some body shops that do not specialize in restoration may even think “out of sight, out of mind.” Not us. We know better.

Rust Repair Cost

The cost of each auto restoration varies greatly. The condition of your vehicle and how much customization you desire are factors in the cost.
