Default Body shops?

Anyone in the area able to recommend or even able to do it themselves? I've got a friend with a charger project looking to have mostly metal work done to it and the guys he was going to go with (specializing in chargers/general lee replicas) are booked for quite a long time...

So, opinions on places to go? You good with bodywork yourself? Help a fellow Northwesterner out, people.

What about in the Everett/Lynnwood/Edmonds/MLT/Shoreline area? My Mom got rear ended in her '05 Envoy yesterday and needs a few places for estimates and eventual repair.

TIA

For production insurance work - Special Interest Autobody on Evergreen Way just north of Madison

For restoration work - D&L Restoration. They have done 4 cars for me. Currently they are in the process of restoring my '67 RS SS396 Camaro.

Yeah. And that is where my Camaro is at right now. I will tell you what I think of the work when I get it back at the end of the week.

There is also a hot rod sorta place just East of Jim Green's on 212th in Edmonds.

I am also interested in finding a place to do custom sheetmetal work, so if you find a good place, let me know!

Nope, this is the 2nd fender bender this particular one was in....and this asshat had no insurance, of course (insert rant here).

Fortunately no one was hurt and the damage in minimal.

Oh yeah, my actual car hasn't been hit in a while (7-4-04), just ones I have been driving.

:Owned: by the reading comprehension.........the answer is yes, my dad's work vehicles (unmarked take home cars) haven't been hit yet.
