i know this isnt the right section but im posting this in all 3 forums it may involve! i have a family friend that owns a body shop here in the tri-state(in/oh/mich/ill) area. his dad started the business over 40+ yrs ago and passed away doing this very job. he taught his son everything and i am now going to work for him. if anyone is in need of work done i know him to be fair on pricing and is EXTREMELY GOOD at this. i don't know much so ill be doing the prep work and helping with the grunt work while he does the more involved and skilled work. if anyone is in need of quality work to be done at a fair price pm me with your needs. shop labor tends to be around $35 an hr but if you have alot of work done he will more than likely cut you a deal on the bulk work! thanks in advance!!

i should add hes doing my entire rear half of the car (quarters,trunk/wheelhouses/drops) for under $2000. i provide the metal and hes providing everything else! i think this is well within reason considering what most shops charge!

now you tell me...maybe i'll bring my next project up ther4e

Drew, where are you located?

im located in fort wayne, indiana. northeastern indiana to be exact. ive seen and been privvy to this guys work and i can tell you one thing... HES [censored] GOOD WITH METALWORK!! if you need work done fast and your car is close id trailer it here for an estimate and put half down for it! the deposit will pay for materials and give motvation to him to get it done faster and in your time frame! major repairs are usually done within a few days if not weeks! NOT A BODYSHOP HELL!! paying customers GET ATTENTION AND WORK DONE! phone number to get an idea of work cost is 260-426-2600. shop is located on washington blvd here in town. im'll probably be starting work with him as a night shift prep/paint guy soon! so ill b doing the work on cars from here as well!!

That's out of the way for me. It is probably a 5 hour drive from me. Sounds like a great opportunity for you to learn bodywork skills!! Enjoy.
