Tim,
If you are in/near Tampa, I know of a couple of GOOD bodymen that might be able to help you on weeknights/weekends. They both have 15-20 yrs doing it & work at a High-end body shop. Times are slow, so they might like the work. If you're interested, send me a pic or two of the car & I'll talk to them for you. Price?? That will be between y'all if they want the work.

Hi Tim , describe what is bent.We may have parts. I have two body shops that can fix it,one real good, with a frame puller. I have a pile of Dub parts. I was there but missed your wreck. Sorry to hear that your pretty car got twisted. Mine did a little also..

When my rabbit got packed hard at drivers school it looked like the car was done. I had the shock towers pulled back into spec by a shop for $100. Then cut off the entire front of the car at the towers and welded in the donor core. It was a pain but much easier than scrapping it for another tub. It looked great until I rolled it 2 months later at Nelson.
