I have an old 1978 f250 lariat. It’s in pretty good shape. Rust is some typical areas but pretty solid. I want to get it repainted and a booboo fixed on the door. any suggestions.

Give Alex a call at Vargas body shop on Magazine. He's a car guy and actually cares what his work looks like as opposed to a volume smashed car joint.

Claude Beans on Poland Ave did a great job on my son's car a few years back. They have one of those whole car paint-drying ovens.

I thought about Maaco...pretty hit or miss from what I have read I don’t need it to be a show truck. Just for the rust spots to be cleaned up and a fresh coat of paint, maybe a single stage paint

I work insurance in LaPlace so I see a lot of body work. Shannon's, Jim's, and Watson's all do great work.
