Body shop recommendation in Phoenix Arizona
« on: November 27, 2006 - 02:21:13 PM »
I'm looking to get body work and paint done on my 70 Cuda. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for shops in the Phoenix, AZ area (preferably east valley). I'm looking for a paint job that you can take to the local car show and show off, but not enter contests. Also not looking for a cheap 10 footer body work and paint job either.

If anyone has any recomendation I would like to hear from you.

-Thanks

Here is what it needs:
-Lower rear quarters need to be cut out and replaced.
-trunk pan needs a couple of rusted areas cut out and replaced. 
-The body, engine compartment, trunk, and door jambs need to be stipped of paint. 
-The body needs some minor dents repaired.
-The whole car needs to be painted. 

There might be some more body work that I don't know about until after the paint has been removed but this is what I know so far.  So basically I need some rust repair, body work and a paint job.

I suggest you read this in your search for a body shop. I thought he had some good points.
