Default How do I find a good body shop?

I've got a 92 GT with the normal emissions stuff pulled out... nothin too wild, but anyway, I have the cash to get a nice paint job but I am in the dark as to where to go to get one. I am scared to death that it would end up lookin like some of the guys I see rollin around here with wavy doors and rear bumper covers... Any tips on how to choose a good body guy?

Go around your local area and check them out.Most of the good ones keep alot of pictures of car they did.Try to find on that does alot of sports cars or classic cars.Most of the time they will do a good job.You could also ask to see some of their work.
