Greg Brinton was recommended to me for the work. Here is before and after on a car that had only jackpoint rust. And only around the squares and tubes, but I cut it all out, and he wheeled the rest out that you see in the before pics. Talk about great welding! TIG he said. I don't know the freakin difference, but this car was buttoned up tonight and 16 months of work is done!
I have other pics but the list is official

Yes
He had to reach up with a very small welding tool that he has had made for especially tight places.
He welds like a demon. He also sealed the open clean longs so that NO water can ever get in.
He barely made it, and it took him 2 extra hours to get it right, but no fender cuts needed.
He is a 25 year welder in all formats.

John - I may need him if some of my welding is too much for me. Is he the guy in Long Beach that Kevin recco'd?
BTW - go with the full Lemforder Turbo Tie Rod Kit (PP, AA, Peli, etc.) if you're going to redo those. I can check at GPR tomorrow if you want (call my cell if so).
Don't break it Sat.!
... & congratz on the 911 - things must have been resolved!
