Default Body Shop around Lakeland?

My stepdaughter took a hit down the entire drivers side of her '95 today thanks to a shitty snowbird trying make two cars fit in one space. She needs a bodyshop that hopefully won't total the car right off. Any suggestions? Also, it's driveable but needs a wheel if anyone has a single 10-spoke or set for sale.

I'm in Lakeland and I've never seen that car. The "THOT" sticker should would have stuck in my mind. lol
I have heard good things of Meisner and Joe Hudson.

Thot Patrol... I'm old had to look that up. lol

I'll tell her about Meisner and get her to get a quote but Hudson said they'd total it.... Unfortunately, insurance and auto body these days just want to total stuff.

Thanks

No problem.

I don't know a lot of people down here but maybe going to the little Friday cruise in and ask people who does their body work might pay off.

Cool. It's funny but after a certain point you get saturated with new/old lingo and just don't ask what something is about. I just recently heard that if you use complete sentences structure in a text you're perceived as some kinda *******.... whatever man, we use English effectively around here! Get off my lawn!

She's found the scene so I'm sure she'll figure it out. She got the car back on the road yesterday with wheels from a junk yard. Goddam they're ugly but what do I know and they roll. Glad she's not bumming rides! The search is on for a 10-spoke...

I must be one hell of an *******.

Not a lot of 10 spokes out there for sale these days. If I run across any I will shoot you a message.

I think I saw this car going north on South Fl Ave today. I looked out of my office and swear this was the car.

Probably so. She's driving it daily. I was down there last week and checked it out. Quarter damage, rear view mirror broken, front fender cracked... jeebuz! the fawking 10-spoke has no lip all the way around! q-tip merged into her...
Then there's the wheels.. awful but, I really shouldn't say much. I would've done the same thing. Get whatever the **** fits at the junk yard. hahaa






j/y wheel

It'll probably be a month or two but I'll let you know.
