Theres lots of good production body shops, but that 67 needs an old school metal artist.
You gonna paint it? I came across your pink vette thread.

Maybe they've gotten better in the last five years, but I doubt it. Maybe this one was an isolated case that I had the misfortune of working on a while back. Those guys had this Firebird for years restoring the body on, charged the guy 65,000 to do metal work, minitub, body work and paint.
Within 6 months the paint was blistering up on it from the rust that was just ospho'd and bondoed over thinking that the sanded down rust didnt need to be sandblasted. The only reason it took 6 months was because it had to push through the 1/4 inch of bondo that the whole car was wiped in so they could block it straight.
Then the tubs had to be cut back out and new ones put in because they put them in crooked and the car pretty much gained no extra wheel room whatsoever.
Again, maybe they're better now, but I'm not gonna find out!![The Jester](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_jest.gif)

Check out Harbor auto resto in rockledge, I've been there a couple times on some claims (I'm an insurance adjuster) and they do awesome work.
