Unhappy Crashed the Grand Am, need a body shop.

Hey guys & gals,

I posted this in the bodyshop forum but thought I would post it here for more visibility

Unfortunately, a few nights ago while driving her 1973 Grand Am my daughter came upon an Explorer driving less than 15 mph on the freeway. No tail lights other than a blinking right turn signal. Unfortunately, she could not stop in time.

Now we need to find a good body shop in the San Diego area that works on our older cars. If anyone has a good recommendation, we would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,
HISGTO

The nose is a fiberglass replacement.
