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!

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.
