GOOD Body shops in Northern/Central Jersey???
Need some good Advice fellas!
the 1999 Crown Vic POS that I bought yesterday looked very good to me at the auction compared to all the other junks there... when I brought it home and washed it there are a few dings and dents along the right side... on the front right fender and both doors that need repairing... Someone talked me out of the idea of buying used doors and fender because those will never line up as they were intended to be from the factory so I'm moving onto Plan B....
I need to find a local, and most importantly reliable professional shop that would bang out these relatively soft dings and dents and make my car look like a show car which it needs to be for my CJMF club!
If anyone has ideas please let me know with price quotes... if you be so kind to ask your shop just tell them there is a dent along the line from the front fender that ends on the rear door that could be banged out only professionaly.... (if I do it alone I'll probably make the paint start chirping) with possible paint job necessary.
I don't have much money to spend especialy with the money I'm spending on all the essentials to make the car look civilian as well as my Breathing mod (intake/exhaust) so I'll need any discount I can get... remember I can advertise anyone and pretty effectively on my web sites so that can be used as a bargaining tool... If CJMF club has any hook ups I'd love to take advantage of them, I'm almost done with creating my fake ID so I'll be able to use the club thing without a problem (wink, wink,
don't tell Tony!)
HELP!

The painter that did my hood and wing, (excellent rep) you can see his work at the show tonight, is a racer with a car he sponsors. What Iam trying to get at, why not stop by his shop a talk to him. He's in Linden.....BodyCraft on Lower Rd

How big are these dings/dents ? If they're smaller than a softball, stop by The Dent Wizard in Leonia. 201-461-7766 350 GRAND AVENUE
They have done excellent work for me before.

Maybe a little far for you but I just talked to Frank at Ricks Auto Body on 9W in Congers NY. He does outstanding work. He's going to do my smooth side steps, roll pan, shaved antenna and ghost flames. He showed me his 2002 Harley truck that he is completely redoing. 100 miles on it and it is in a million peices.
He has several other shops in Rockland but the one in Congers is the main one.
