Hey Todd-

As you are in my "neck of the woods" I'm hoping you can help me out with
something.

I'm trying to get my fiberglass reconditioned - specfically the rear bumper
and 2 side-skirting pieces, as they require the most attention.

I went to a shop today and talked with a guy who actually LIVED in the town
that my van came from (which is a big deal, since it's such a TINY town) and
he quoted me $540 to repair the peeling material and repaint the 3 pieces.

I'm wondering if you have ANY suggestions that would be less expensive
(short of 'arranging' a fender-bender).

Know anyone around (G-Rap to Chicago) who reconditions fiberglass and can
help me out?

Thanks in advance!

-Matt

P.S. Here are some pics from this past weekend of me and my "brand new"
Vanagon.

Looking forward to hearing back!
