I'm in need of much body work, but I can only do so much. I'm looking for a reliable and cheap place to have the rest done

I need:

1/4 panels (just around the wheel wells, not full quarters)
Wheel houses
Doors/hood/hatch/fenders re-alligned
Paint


I installed new doors, a new hatch, a new hood, and new fenders, but nothing is lined up right.


SO, has anyone had good experience around here? Know of a shop that will cut a 3rd genner a deal? (crosses fingers) Or maybe you have tons of free time and want to make some extra coin? Let me know!!

 

Come on! There must be at least one good body shop!!

 

Not cheap but very, very good.

Leland and Visnick in Canton. If you go there PM me first and I'll tell you who to see.

 

I deal with that shop as well through my job. They're work is good.

Pricey but good.

 

georg and sons auto in louden is awsom but he is not cheap

but saint georges auto in pittsfield NH is very good and has real good prices

 

Chickens Customs IN worcetor is awesome, and they are very reasonable with priceing. PM me and ill give ya the number.

 

Pricey as in... crazy (but not for what you get?) I want something nice, but nothing fancy! Just a nice gloss black job. No door jams, no underhood. Bodywork is all done as well... just need paint!

 

I don't know how they write for off the street customers..I deal with them on a corporate level so to speak.

 

Boyer's Auto Body in Hudson, NH does excellent work for a fair price. I've dealt with other body shops in the area and liked his service and pricing the best.

Todd is the owner and has paint two cars for me. One was done 5 years ago this month. I sold it to a friend a year after having it painted and it still shines, no peeling or fading.

 

Pricey as in you get what you pay for. I've seen them do some really nice cars and have yet to be dissapointed in any work. Seen a few cars come back from the dead too. IIRC they also give you a 10 yr warranty or some such on their paintwork.

Ask for Marty or Joe and tell them George (with the Cobra and Trans Am) sent you up (if they ask, yes the one that bitch slapped the insurance co.). They have so/so memory on names, but faces they do good. They are good people and both are car guys.

 

Chickens Customs in Worcester MA, PM me for phone number. They did my bodywork/paint. Both rear quarters, both fenders, both doors, new hood, SFC's, and alot of other stuff...definitely a good quality shop.









Final result and not alot of money spent-

 

Why thank you Chris and Bobby. If anyone is interested I have some pics of other stuff I've done too

 

Ahh.... startin to hang around the turd gen sites now aren't ya

 

Well, with how many of them seem to be showing up at my shop lately I seem to be becoming somewhat of an expert on them That and owning two might have something to do with it too

 

About Chickens Customs, can I ask what you paid for the 1/4's to be done? A local guy wants $1100 a side to install new quarters and wheel houses... and that's NOT including paint!!

 

1100 a side??? *** DAMN!! lol ill let him know ya made the post he should get back to ya in a day or so.

 

Ouch. A final price really depends on a lot of things. Ideally I'd need to see the car, but, that being said, I can pretty much guarantee you it will be less than that

 

What are you some tough guy now?

 

Just tell me a time and I'll be there! No poking fun at me for trying to keep this car alive!!

 

Monday through friday, 9 to 5 Feel free to call if you have any other questions... 508-751-5300

 

I have one further question, are you open weekends? Special appointment?

I work 9-6 mtw, 9-7 tf

If not, I can skip work one day

 

Once in a great while, all I can say is call the shop and see if you get lucky. I'm also there late from time to time too. All depends on what I'm playing with at the time

 

bottledbird68...

what is the least busy time of year for you.

 

Thanksgiving to Christmas. Things seem to get really slow around then. They start picking back up around the end of january and then I get slammed solid by the middle of march...

 

Just wanted to say that I've seen the 83 z in the back of bottledbird68 sig pic several times at d an d on Grafton st. worcester and it is by far the most gorgeous thirdgen i've ever seen in my life. Chicken does sick work.

 

Should look even better in a few weeks. Keep an eye out for it
