Contact Jeff at Trackside. He had someone a few years ago that did someones car that was a great job. But price might be an issue.

tracksides #954 946 4043 Jeffs got a really good body & paint guy.

thanks guys, will contact tracksides for an estimate. by the looks of it i doubt a good job maybe 3k. whoever i use ill make a thread so others looking may see some local work

i got a really good guy he did my bare metal resto he's the only guy i trust at a shop.. i also have an older cuban guy that's a magician with metal he will come to you and cut and weld at your place.. trackside called me a couple times for some parts saw the name on caller id.. ive never met them but i know one thing they're a good @ is lowballing the chit out me for my parts but i guess everyone wants a deal

can you pm me their info? top on list is a old cuban guy also w years exp doing resto work, but it wont hurt getting other quotes

Are you South or North? the old cuban dude is in Miami like near Little havanna the shop whicj is good is Down South near us1 and 220th st i grew up with the owner i can talk to him and tell him i sent you.. the old cuban guy is good also i have his number at home im actually in the process of moving and im at my job using the net...i'll update you on the #'s tomorrow but i do have the shop # with me now.. is it a buick that your restoring?

yeah the buick in my sig. has the usual lower doorr issue, some a pillar, trunk and floor rust issues. im around miami springs/nw hialeah

After getting several out of control pricey estimates, I took a risk and found a very experienced gentleman starting his own shop w alot of restoration experience and expertise willing to be reasonable in price.

I will provide contact details for those that request it.

- bad rust on the lower doors (holes through the door ): )
-rust spots on the floor board , driver, some passenger , pretty random spots
- rear trunk area and lid has some holes
- a pillars show some rusting under seals
- rear roof oem attachment section near rear window is bubbling up
- rust in front right a pillar area behind the fender near ac parts
- previous paint was crap and has alot of chicken feet


i will post some previous pics and some after shots, and along the way

these are my first for now:this is the progress of day 1



[/QUOTE]

this guy has made the lower doors from scratch sheet stainless and its nice and thick. this is 3 days worth of work. he will be using paint remover to srip the paint off the entire car pretty much. he will also be using rust treatment and paint the inside of the doors once all the welding and fabing is done.

need some parts incase anyone has some, driver corner lamp, front and rear bumper trims(plastic thingys), and door seals


this is a duplicate thread, since i have one on the non-regional forum, if any moderator think this is an issue let me know and i can delete one

wow good job lots of work ahead of you!! did one recently to bare metal... probably will try to steer away from the bare metal resto's in the future... lots of time and money.....makes me get goosebumps the work and the frustration i went thru

pm sent

coat of rust fighting/preventing epoxy, and a quick coat of primer just to protect everything for now

some recent pics, just sprayed some of the car, still needs wet sand and buff once all is done
