Default SoCal 'Stangers... Need help.

Someone reversed into me in a parking lot, then drove off without leaving any note, so I came back from shopping to find my new 'stang with a dented/scratched/chipped hood...

Anyway,

long story short, I need help from all Southern California 'Stang owners... I need the best damn bodyshop in the LA area, but I'm willing to travel if it means a better job.

Can anyone out there help me restore my baby to her former glory?

Thanks.

To quote the principal from Take the Lead "I want it fixed, not pimped!"

I'm sorry, that was the only time I'll ever be able to say that, so I had to. But in all seriousness, Thanks for the tip, I will have to check them out.

One of the places some of the old hot rodders used to use is Bistagne Brothers (in Glendale). I've never used them (do my own painting), but they used to be talked highly of...
I think they've stopped working on classics because sometimes it was a hassle trying to find replacement parts.
If you are anywhere near Glendale, it might be worth dropping by to see what they say, and to get a look at the shop. Personally, I don't blindly take my rides to a shop based entirely on someone's opinion. I go talk to the people and get a feel for the shop first.
By the way, I got my 05 GT from Galpin, and had them paint and install my Roush spoiler at that time... I'm pleased with the quick turn around and good quality.
Good luck!

yeah, they do "pimp my ride" but they also do quality 'normal' work. take it to them and dont worry about it.
