Hi Buick Gang, I have a 1972 Skylark Convertible. Interior and top is nice. Engine/trans/rear end are original. I spent last year just getting to know the car a little bit and fixing the rusted floor pans. For this year I'm thinking about getting the bodywork going. This thing will be needing some metal! I do not do body work and not really looking to learn on this one. My questions: Does anyone know of a shop that deals with this in SE Wisconsin (or Madison area). I'm not looking for a complete frame off restore, I just want to get the rust cut off and replaced. Being a convertible, would it be advisable to take the top off before sending it to the shop? It is in really good shape. Would a body shop rather have a rolling chassis? I'm thinking of pulling the engine anyway so maybe do it at the same time. For those of you that have sent your car to a shop, did you do any of the "rough" work yourself like sanding, removing trim, etc? I know most of these questions I can review with the body shop, but just trying to start to play my year while the car is sitting in storage. Thanks Tom
