Hey anyone around here know of a good body shop that can take out some pretty nasty dents and paint while they are at it? I know B street in millard is pretty good, I'm just wondering what other ones are good in the Omaha/Millard/Council Bluffs area....

I know Lincoln is a little out of the way but if you're ever there I've had work done at a shop called C&C Body. A guy named Mark owns it. They do damn good work for a fair price. It's on West O st.

I have a guy painting my car that worked at John Kraft and Huber doing body work till he retired, and now has his own shop at his house frame rack, paint booth, the works. He is out your way if you want his number, let me know.

I should have said that he isn't cheap per se, but I'm sure he does good work for a fair price, as the shop I went to quoted me $1900 more than he was going to charge me. Shoot me a pm if you want his number.

I got to subscribe! I've been on this site this long and never really checked out this section. I just got my Camaro. It needs some work but a good project car. I've probably seen most of you guys on the road! You've probably seen my truck around I drive it everywhere.

Sounds like everyone's stuff is tore up. I'm hoping to have the Z06 back on the road again sometime in the next couple weeks. And I'm busy as hell building the 6.0 Gbody drag car!

https://ls1tech.com/forums/drag-raci...d-low-10s.html

I hope i can attain at least a 10.80 with it @ KRP.
