Bodywork Help Needed - Steve's 1975 Westy

Post by Don from Canton »

I met Steve, the owner of this '75 Westy, a couple of months back after his son spotted my Bus at a local park and summoned his dad to come check it out. Steve is new to Bus ownership and wanted an opinion on what he has, so he brought his Bus to my house last weekend. It seems really solid underneath and mechanically, but has obvious rust issues on the shiny side (there is rust-through on the nose if that's not clear from the photo). I told him about LEAKOIL and that I'd post about his Bus. Can anyone recommend someone that would do a good job of body repair on this Bus? He'd probably have it painted at Maaco after the repairs if the person doing the bodywork did not have painting facilities. He's not interested in making it a show car, just to stop the rust and make it a solid, attractive, driver. I believe Steve has signed up here on LEAKOIL but I don't know his username yet! He lives in Green, between Massillon and Akron. Thanks for any recommendations you can provide.
