    I had 80% of the mechanical work needed to complete my 1970 buick wildcat 2 door completed. It is now time to bring the car to a bodyshop. Ive had the car since I was 17, (im currently 22) When I first got the car I got in two accidents costing me a fender, a bumper and a quarter panel. I've purchased a replacement fender, a bumper and doors, however the car is going to need major bodywork to the drivers side rear quarter panel. my next major purchase is going to be a replacement quarter panel and a 2nd fender (theres rot on the straight fender).

    Does anyone know a good bodyshop/restoration shop that would be up for the task? I should also mention that the car is probably going to need repair work done to the trunk and most likely the floors as well. I want to keep the car the same color, (paint the whole thing, and replace the vinyl top)

    That 1/4 can be repaired easier than replaced, if the metal is still healthy

    Not sure what part of NJ you are in, but I had my GN repainted by Heck’s auto in Pleasantville near AC. It did not need any body work, but they did a great job! Took it to bare metal and I had it back in 4 weeks.
