The bumper won!

While driving through downtown Sacto last week on HWY 50, a 1960's ish GM style chrome bumper either fell off the truck in front of me, or he ran over it too and was spitting it out at me. Anyway, swerve as I may I was not able to completely aviod the monstrosity and took a hit in the rear of the passenger front fender down at the rocker. It is a little crunched, but really not too bad all things considered (didn't hurt either of my Alpina wheels that ran over it, nice strong wheels!). . If I wouldn've been able to move a little left before it hit, it would be much worse. Unfortunately it also tore a nice hole in one of my floorpans and since I have some rust in the spare tire well, and one other area that I know of on the floors I am thinking of getting it all fixed and am not sure where to go. Anyone out there have any suggestions? I am in the Sacramento CA area and am not into the full restore option but would just like to get the floors and fender area fixed.

Appreciate any help you can provide.

Cheers!
Ed
