Asking again... anyone w/ any body shop connections?
 

Need my radiator support fixed, because my mechanic and 2 body shops have all told me seperately that a new hood won't close with it as is... one shop quoted me at 734 to fix rad support, install and paint hood (of that, the rad support is about $200.. 3 hrs labor and 1.2 hrs paint @ $45/hr according to the estimate sheet)... another just quoted me $292.50 plus tax to do just the radiator support if I strip the front end myself, plus 100 dollars if i strip all but the fenders. Even though I know thats a pretty good price, I still want to see if I can anything better since I am on a college budget :? . Anyone got any advice/whatever?

Thanks a lot.

come-a-long, a tree, and a van. Thats what my old man did to my rad support.

we did the exact same thing except the van...

You need the van w/ the e-brake on....because with your car and the e-brake on it will start to drag. My pops 88' Chevy conversion van was chained to the ass end of my car.

You going sunday? I'll show you what I mean... we got it pretty much straight compared to where it used to be, but its still sorta rolled and crap

yeah i'll be there

Wow, I'm an ass lol. My dad used to work with a guy who now works at Englewood Auto Body... just stopped by, he said it shuld be fine, but $300 to pull that if needed, repaint the bumper, and repaint the hood when I get it in... :redblob:

i am real good friends with a guy that owns a body shop in hellertown pa and does excellent work. He painted my truck seen here www.cardomain.com/id/jimmyboy8301 the truck with the flames is what he painted. He's quick, cheap, and does excellent work.

I know a guy. Fixed my mercury for $800. Thoes who saw the car (al, dennis, santino, ls1kid, jim) will tell you it was really bad.
