Dave, as they say, rust never rests. Pictures?
Hi Ben:
Sadly it doesn't. The car is now seven years old, and I didn't realize the rockers were getting so bad. But when we put it up on the hoist, there were several holes in them, so no more putting it off. Over the years, some of the paint had come off the rockers, and the clear coat had peeled off both front and back bumpers, so we decided to get both done at the same time.
Frustrating, as I can't afford to replace the car, and I figure it is the last one we will ever own considering the small pension I am on, and the fact my wife will soon have to retire, also. I need to win the lottery

. But it looks great now, and hopefully it will extend its life a bit! If it is sunny tomorrow, I will take a photo.... Still looks like a 2007 Fusion, but looks much better!
Dave
