I had a bad but small rust spot on the bottom of a front fender which I tried to disguise with touch-up paint, but you could still se the rust as the paint was broken underneath. I was all set to bring it to he shop when I got the brilliant idea to try sanding down the raised area, which I did. I applied a couple of coats of paint and voila - it worked! The color, Seaside Green, is somewhat lighter, but that's OK as it pretty much underneath the car. The other problem was that a screw holding a rear speaker became undone and left it dangling by one fastener. After trying various lame fixes, I finally got a new screw and put a small weight on the head so it wouldn't keep popping up when I tried to fasten the nut and it held. Afterwards I realized that the screw I got was a bit short which made it difficult to attach.
Now, with those simple tasks behind me, and armed with a tool kit consisting entirely of a small Vise-Grip, a combination Philips head and blade screwdriver and a rag, fell qualified to not only tackle any repair, including engine and tranny rebuild, extensive body repair, and anything else the gods of Old Cardom can throw at me. Then I realized what a great retirement money-making opportunity this would be with all thes old cars around, and which one doesn't have any issues? I'll be rich, I tell you rich!!!
