Body Shops In Ca

[freebird]

I have a 69 camaro that I picked up a few years ago, it is pretty much all the way taken apart. I would like to get all the body work done and get the car into at least primer, seeing how I don't have enough money to get it painted the way I want.
Since its taken apart, I wanted to have the car media blasted or acid stripped/dipped. What do you guys recommend and why?Can you guys recommend a good shop to do either, I am in SoCal.
I am also looking for a trust worthy body shop that can align/straighten body panels and leave the car in primer?
thanks for all your help,
Joe Acosta
Here are a few photos from a couple years ago I dont have any updated ones

I have a shop that did my quarters, fenders, doors, basically the whole damn car.........the car came out straight as an arrow. Until I dropped the engine on it.... dont askt...:)

The shop is in chatsworth, they have a few muscle cars in there right now....

If I may make a suggestion, save up for an extra couple months and do the paint at the same time. I went with your plan....the car is still not painted.

I have another shop that is painting my 69 Fastback as we speak...let me know if you would like me to see what they would charge for the work...

I was just thinking of making a thread like this last night. I'm interested in a shop in the SoCal area as well, but I need kind of a lot of body work done (someone rear ended me, trunk leaks and now the trunk is rusty, etc).

I was thinking of just sending my car to Frank at Prodigy, but sending the car across the country twice will probably cost a small fortune.

Hey Jay,

Here's a '69 BOS had done just a week ago. It came out very good and it was only $1750 for the whole car including fenders, doors, panes, etc.

The car was in great shape except for the oddly done quarters.

You can call D!ck at BOS and ask them who they use for soda blasting, it was the best rate I had seen. Most in OC want around $2k.

Awesome, thanks for the link. I can't wait till I have the money to get the bodywork done and get this beast painted.
