Can anybody recommend a paint and body shop in the area that is reasonable on cost? My Challenger has 2 coats of paint, very few dings, and almost no rust repair (pass drip rail only). I'd like to have it stripped and sprayed with the original color white. Caliber collision said they won't touch a muscle car since there's no money to be made outside of insurance work. I had a buddy that knew someone and the guy doesn't follow up with anybody so I don't trust him.
I've taken the bumpers off, windshield out, wire brushed the floors, got the fenders loose, and the car will soon be ready for body work.

Thanks!

Contact the Cowtown Mopar Performance Team. It's the Mopar club in Ft. Worth. There is a guy that has done some of their cars that is from Blue Mound, outside of Ft.Worth. I just cannot recall the guys name. The guy loves Mopars. There is usually a waiting list. I hear it's worth the wait.

A bit of a drive but I suggest Tony Grato in Kaufman Texas, he painted the flames on my Cruiser. He's an old school painter, been doing it the early 60's and used to paint for Barris back in the day. He's pretty reasonable too.

Custom Touch in Arlington did a nice job on my El Camino. Turned it around pretty quick, too. Also heard good things about Blue Mound Auto.

I found an excellent mechanic near Krum Texas, extremly happy with his work. He also works with a credible body shop close by that did some excellent work on a Challenger. I'm about about to have some front frame rail work done on my 74 Challenger and will be taking my car to them. PM me with your phone number and I'd be happy to talk about my experience.
