Looking for body shop to fix some rust on my bird in MA/NH?

SO many out there on the net and in the phone book... better to know someone that had a good experience somewhere.

Looking for a place to fix some rust that isn't too bad & a dent near the tail light and will be looking for more work down the road too, eventually leading to fully painting the car.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!

My neighbor is the owner. He's in Dracut, MA right next to Pelham, NH line. Phenomenal work and he's passionate about older vehicles. Tell him his neighbor 'Matt' with the white Iroc referred you.

Thanks guys, need all the ideas I can get. Was quoted $800 for the work without paint and I really have no idea if that's decent or not!

I'll have to dig the quote back out but they said it was around 14 hours worth of work. They did not mention any new metal.

This was for the rust in the first three pictures, NOT including the rear dent!

Here's the quote. Looks like $150 of it is for the windshield itself.

Not yet. Need other work first. Guess bodywork gets back burnered again.

Hoping to find a fellow third genner that does bodywork on the side or something!
