Autobody recommendation
« on: January 31, 2011, 07:57:17 PM »
I've got some rust above the windshield on my '94 Cherokee Sport.

I'm looking to have it fixed. Got a quote from Western Paint & Bodyworks and from Maaco. Maaco is half the price, but I"m nervous about using them.

Anyone have any recommendations on either of the above, or anywhere else for that matter?

Thanks!

sandpaper, elbow grease, Por-15.  That's what I'm doing this spring.  Gonna do the entire roof and rockers though.

+1 on the POR15. Expensive, but worth every penny. Did a whole truck frame and underside, as well as the cabs interior before I restored it. Can crack that stuff with a sledge hammer when its dry, and it wont even show a mark. Hasn't chipped, hasn't peeled, and hasn't rusted! Really remarkable stuff !

I did a Google search for "hot trannies" but nothing came up about oil coolers  :o

Worrying too much about mpg with a Jeep is similar to worrying about your sister's virginity. An ok thing to be concerned about but...
