There are very few shops in So cal that will touch a older car as their bread and butter is insurance work.I have a pontiac friend that owns 3 body shops and he only does his own cars,BUT the body shop biz sucks right now so maybe check around to for a non resto shop.Also remember they usually lie on how long it will take.You can read tons of threads on all the car sites about body shop hell.I had one in the paint for a year!Another friend had one for 2 years.Be very carefull.Tom
