Hello from Ft. Worth.

I have recently purchased a 2002 SLP SS M6 Black/Ebony/CME. This car has only 31K and I bought it from the original owner (have seen the "birth certificate"). About 5 years ago it was in an accident and has been in storage since then.

I bought it to steal the drivetrain and part out but this is a nice enough car to check into getting it fixed.

I need recommendations for DFW area body shops that specialize in F-bodies. Are there any?

This car has been hit in the driver side rear. The unibody has been crushed into the left rear wheel arch. None of the suspension points seem to have been involved. This car will need a rear clip or a partial clip; the passenger side may be usable.

The body shop will need to be familiar with major reconstruction work.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Rick

Try Clark Brothers in Arlington, they replaced 3/4s of my front clip on my old 97 Z28, I I remember right they charged just under 2k to do it

Caliber North Richland Hills; ask for Troy. He is manager and a fellow hot rodder. I'd take any car I owned to him if it were wrecked.

Thanks for the replies.
Have plenty to check out on Monday.
I've just about have the car down to basic sheet metal and am going to take a camara full of damage shots for ballpark estimates.

The #$%# CME is a serious pain to take apart without damaging it. Everthing has been real easy to deal with except that peice.....

Thanks again

Clark Brothers does paint, but its sometimes hard to get a full paint job due to it costing them more in materials/paint but will do it for the right customers
