I built several skimmers and many tanks. If you need help, I can give some tips too. Rich is the bomb. Where do you live?

I was wondering if you want to trade some body work for zoos or sps. I have some 8" acrylic tube left from building skimmers. I have about 4 feet of it. I have a bunch I could trade. What I need is some work on my old toyota pickup. I just want it to look a little more decent. it has a lot of rot in the doors and front fender. THe rocker panel has rot too. I looked for some panels to cover it with, but couldnt find any. THe truck is white, so it wont show too many flaws. cheap and dirty is all i need.
thanks. PM me please.\RENEE
