    Anyone know where I can go to have my body work done? I live in NJ and NY and Philly are not too far away.

    All the local places around here wont touch it with the rear quaters. I would even be willing to pay a backyard body guy to do the work as long as it comes out decent.

    Any suggestions?

    THANKS!!!

    I have a body shop friend located in south Jersey who may be interested in something like that but he is out of town until next week. When he returns I will ask him.

    Cool, thanks man! I know no matter what body work I do the rust will come back to haunt me in a few years, but I would like a few years of a nice looking car to enjoy:)

    How bad are the quarters? If you don't mind taking the car into Pa, we might be able to do something nice with it. That is if Sam's guy doesn't want the job. We've done plenty of Mavericks. We are pretty backed up right now, so we couldn't even take another job until spring.

    Any idea how much I would be looking at for the 1/4's? No paint, juts do the body work and prime it. Trying to get an idea of what I'm looking at.

    I found a 92 Mustang GT with a shot automatic transmission. Runs great and would make a good candidate for a transplate, but if the body is gonna cost me big bucks I may have to rock the 6 cylinder till next year.

    Installing them has to be some crazy money though....
