    OK Guys, once again, 72 Skylark Coupe

    I have already found a GSX Hood with ram air and hood tach. I also found the chrome grill to go with it instead of that crappy plastic one. I got a few rust spots on the bottom of the rear quarters. These are nothing big, however, i need to have it media blasted to tell for sure.

    1) Anyone know about a media blaster/fairly priced bodyshop in the Dallas/Garland/Mesquite Texas area?

    Secondly, I was thinking about a custom body mod on the rear fender wells. I thought about dropping the top of the rear fender wells down to the body crease that goes down the side. I feel like this will give it a tougher, fatter stance with the 18" Cragar SS Wheels under it.

    2) Anyone know of a good metal fabricator in the Dallas, Garland, Mesquite Texas area that would be able to do a good job on this?

    I am going with metallic black paint with gun metal racing stripes. I want phantom flames in the stripes. I also want to get all the exterior chrom powder coated in gun metal to match.

    3) Same area, great paint shop that won't break the budget!!

    Thanks

    Wil
