Subject:      Speaking of rust repair, Virginia?

All the talk about fixing rust on Vanagons got me thinking more about
my poor, neglected van.  Does anybody on the list know of someone in
the central Virginia area that is familiar with our beloved vehicles
and does the kind of repairs of which Zolly speaks below?

Thanks,
