Rust… Rust is the mortal enemy of any car lover. It’s forever waging a war against us. Every vehicle has its unique trouble spots that grow from the inside out. Once you see it on the outside it is often a sign of more dramatic issues inside. Rest assured, when we decided to specialize in vintage vehicles we knew we would be specializing in repairing and eradicating rust. It’s not glamorous work but someone has to do it, and Trendsetter is fully equipped to cut out, sandblast, treat, build and install rust repair panels. We butt weld our seams and even have spot welding equipment so that our repairs can be indistinguishable when completed when the project requires that level of workmanship. That can make a huge difference to the value of your vehicle down the road when an appraiser or a potential buyer is putting it under the microscope.
