Default Body Shop Needed, '71 Firebird, So. Calif.

Hi --

My '71 Firebird got hit in late July, I'm having trouble finding a licensed shop to fix it. A lot of body shops now don't work on anything over 10 years old; one shop guy told me a car like mine is just like someone bringing a Ferrari -- it tends to slow down the whole shop, etc.

If anyone knows of a licensed shop that works on cars like mine and also works with insurers that's anywhere between Bakersfield and San Diego, please pass along a referral.

Pics of the car damage are at:

Thanks --

Hey Baba O', I used Magnolia Street Autobody for my SD. Talk to Dave and tell him Richard with the white '73 sent you so he knows the type of work you're looking for. They're in Ontario, so I don't know if it's too far for you. Also, one of the best things I found about the shop is that even if you have a problem with the work a year later, he'll make it right. I brought my car back at least 5 times for anal issues and he happily took care of me each time. BTW, your link wasn't working so I couldn't check it out, but beware, you'll have to track down all the hard to find parts yourself.

Here are some pics of my car: http://pontiacsonline.com/73%20SD.htm

X2.

Dave's a great guy and they stand by their work. They did a good job on my '65 Chrysler.
