I really need a recommendation for a good bodyshop near the Tampa Bay, Florida area.
Most of you that have seen the pics of my 68 Firebird that I have been working on for the past 2-3 years have seen what I have gone through in the pictures Ive posted on the URL I have posted.
Quite sometime ago I put my ride into a body shop and actually saw it in the first three-five months go from the old paint and interior together and all to a shell of nothing but a sheetmetal core, soda blasted, one floor pan and right rear quarter pannel replaced the other floor pan still not done, a piece of the cowl cut out with the new pieces for the other floor pan, trunk pan and reconstruction of the rear window channel still needing to be done...all that and it sitting on four posts with casters on the bottom. However, that is where it has stood since last July well before I went to Iraq.
Now, even after my trip the business took on way too many cars for just two guys to handle and also now, zero work is being done. One of the two guys that ran the buisness has left so only one guy is there and he rarely shows up because of "personnel issues."
I wont go on anymore about it, its aggrevating as heck, so please if anyone knows any good places that you would like to recommend near my area can you please let me know about them. Thanks in advance.
