My dad and I go to Advantage Auto Body, 2889 W Tharpe St. Building L. The guy's name is Jerry, 575-8327, free estimates and really good work. My dad hit something (I think he was drunk and hit a traffic barrel or something along those lines) and tore the shit out of his truck, the fender, hood, and front bumper all needed repair. He had two estiamtes done both over $2500, then Jerry did it for $1200, and it looks like it is new. You would never know my dad hit anything unless you looked at the paint on the hood, and thats only because my dad is to lazy to take it to him to let him wet sand it.

So I think he can manage getting your crap aligned.

uh roslunds. but they aren't cheap. but at least you can have an 80,000 dollar porsche sitting next to the fox.

[slowLX]

cool i'll get a few estimates before i decide. parking next to a porsche would be cool...

[slamdfullsize]

i got lots of body work to do on my truck... i was thinkin of just parking it for a few month, and then sanding it all down, straightening everything out and putting it in primer till i can get it painited

Chain+tree+backing car up=pulling the radiator support bracket back out. No really, I AM serious. If you want to try to fix this on the cheap try it, it's just like having your own low-buck frame machine.

Extreme Paint and Body is personal friends of mine...my Mustang is over there right now and they are honest people and Cliff knows his shit. If you dont think so, go check out his two personal hot rods parked there.

Purp this is LincContinental from FvC...how'd your truck turn out? I told them that you might come check them out but they never told me anything about it.

it was alright the hood is messed up becuase what he said was there was too many coats of paint and he should have stripped it and re[painted it but he just fixed it and blended it. so he said hell strip it and paint it but everything else he did was good but he only did the paint and fiberglass so i dunno about any major stuff since i replace the radiator and supports ect myself. o yea and i saw your car up there and we talked about it for a lil

where is extreme paint and body?

[88leadsled]

I guess the real name of the shop isn't Extreme Paint and Body or they aren't listed, I was going to try and embarass you by posting a google local search or yellowpages search with their address.

But since that didn't work my life is still incomplete.

By the way nice swap, I was looking at your album the other day and it looks pretty well done.

[96s10]

thanks. yeah, i tried searching for it and didn't find it so i got lazy and thought i'd ask.

[Rotorocious]

where is extreme paint and body?
I think its way down Capitol Circle. You should see it on the left a few miles before you intersect at Woodville hwy.

[scooby]

yeah it just after tram road as you go around the corner on cap cir

[FoxRodder]

Yea they are pretty new in town. Like maybe 5 months or so. They used to have another shop down in south fla but they moved away from all the mass people and they took over this shop. Apparently it used to be owned by some real crooks so they are having to overcome that bad stigma that some locals remember of the place.

I forget exactly which was tram road but the easiest way to find it is to take south monroe to where it hits capital circle and hang a left and then its about 3/4 of a mile down on the right with nothin around it but trees.

I think its a good place to deal with just from checkin it out because the place is kept very clean and there isnt like 10 different people running the place. Its always the same person you deal with and he knows what hes doin. The only thing to remember is that you still get what you pay for. He can't use magic. If you want a quality base coat clear coat and what not you have to pay for it. If you want a 500$ paint job its gonna look like maaco did it.

Hope your truck gets perfect again. Hopefully I'll be picking mine up next week and I can post pics.

[gbarger]

There is a really good body shop that I use. I know the owner and my step son worked with ( on his car ) with him. It maybe a little too far for you but it is in Lamont, just east of Monticello.

The shop is Better Bodies and the owner is Andy

Good Luck
