Default east coast body shop

hey guys,
Can anyone recommend a body shop in the north east? Im in CT, near NY line but all the shops around here are like 95-125/hr. I know there has to be a place that can do better then that. I know a guy in alabama paying 30-45 per hr for top shelf work, so there has to be something out there. Thanks in advance

Depends on how well you want the work done.

Dont know about the border but Precision Auto does all my mechanical work and has a great resto shop. Think the rate is $80 and its easy to get to once you get into nyc.

This is the shop I went to in MA:
http://tnthotrods.com/

The owner is awesome. They did great work- $40 per hour, no mark up on parts/supplies. They'll even pick up/deliver your car.

Awesome, awesome, awesome. I can't say enough good things about the shop.

Not sure how far you want to travel, but I take all my cars (daily drivers) to this guy and he does a great job. He also did all the fiberglass body work on my Mustang too. He also restores old Corvettes.
Gives them a call and feel them out.
