Hugh Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 I need to find a reliable body shop that some Z owners can vouch for. I've spoken to some collision shops, and they all seem a little iffy to me and I don't trust them with my Z. A shop with some good Z experience would be nice. I need some collision repair plus custom shaving of the rear roll pan done. The floor pans need replacing, and I need to have brackets fabricated for my GT-R seats, as well. I would like to find a local place to Orange County, California. Here's a pic of my POS: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share Posted March 18, 2007 I'll add three for Southern California (in order of price, from cheapest to most expensive): Maaco Auto Body and Painting 13261 Imperial Hwy Whittier, CA 90605 (562) 777-0010 Ask for Lance. He owns a 240Z and has painted 2 of my customer's cars. Both are happy with the work. West Coast Collision 561 S Cypress St La Habra, CA 90631 (714) 447-1030 Ask for Brent. He's painted a friend's 56 big window Ford pickup which turned out great. Brent has painted some non-car things for me and done a good job. A more traditional kind of paint and body shop where the quality is good but your car might end up in paint-jail for a few months. Lanzini Body Works http://www.lanzinibodyworks.com/ Ask for Mitch. The best and you'll pay for it. As seen on the Overhauling TV show, Mitch does a lot of work for Chip Foose. Mitch repaired and painted the Rusty Old Datsun years ago and did a great job. The paint on the car was much better then the car deserved. Thanks, I will get in touch with the La Habra shop most likely in the next couple days. Thanks for the info!!

nbesheer Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 This is good info I was going to be asking a similar question when I get a job. I bumped the guard rail with mine a couple weeks ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Posted March 19, 2007 Author Share Posted March 19, 2007 Yeah, those guard rails can be pretty stationary, ha? Mine was hit by a chick rolling too fast through an intersection into stopped traffic. Ranger hit Accord, Accord hit Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbesheer Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Mine was guy thought 65 was too slow for the Ketella exit so he hoped in front of me and slamed on his brakes and my brakes locked up after a bit (I didn't lock them up as soon as I touched the pedel mind you) and I spun around and ended up painting the rail regetta red. But at least it's only cosmetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Posted April 6, 2007 Author Share Posted April 6, 2007 I think I may have a free car to drive while I get this work done. Thats wicked. Nothing like daily driving and modifying your 34 year old car, ha? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
