Yeap, that was my thinking as well.

I am reasonably mechanically inclined, and have had to repair instruments at work, so I figure I can handle the mechanical stuff. Paint and bodywork on the other hand is a different story. I don't have a welder or a paint booth. The place we bought it from would do it, and looking at there showroom they do amazing work, but they charge upwards of 20k depending on how much work they do!

So far we have not found any rust!
