Restoration Body Shops near Boston, MA?

Restoration Body Shops near Boston, MA?

The title says it all. I'm looking for a body shop that isn't afraid to dive into restoration type body work.

I'm in Boston, MA but not afraid to drive (50+ miles?) somewhere if they can do what I need. Right now I'm just in the estimate stage of the game in order to get a rough ballpark in order to start budgeting and saving the pennies.

So if anyone has had any good or preferably excellent experience with any body shop somewhat in my vicinity, let me know and thanks!

P.S.

The car in question is my 1984 15th Anniversary Trans Am.

Re: Restoration Body Shops near Boston, MA?

I've been looking too. I have an 86 with a lot of rust.

I just visited this shop in Cranston, RI:
http://www.autorust.com/index.html

They do rust only, nothing else, no mechanical, no paint, etc. If you're looking for rust repair, I'd check them out, I thought their place was great, and I'm going to have them restore my car, including new panels, doors, etc.

I was impressed. If you want to wait a month or two, I'll probably have before and after pics of their work on my car.

I'm way out in Western MA, but I've found no other places that do this type of work.

Thanks for the heads up. Does anyone else have any shops in mind? I'm trying to get a list going to shop around.
