Thanks Page 62!! I've gotta get the real technical speak down so I can describe my problems in the future :-)

I really don't like going to the dealership for either of my cars but that weird reaction I got from the vintage line representative intrigued me to call anyway...should've known better.

The body shop that has the car and is restoring the outside can continue to fix the underside, in my opinion, based on your comments. They can do the job but I wanted to make sure there wasn't a less expensive option out there that I should pursue....sounds like a bust to me.

Thanks again!
