Hey Dudes,

This is my first visit to the SoCal section since I usually check out the forum that pertains to my truck year which is 1955. Although I thought this might be a great place to post my question.

Unfortunately this past Monday a kid crashed into my 55' F100 who was texting (Grrrrr) and ruined the passenger side of my truck. Insurance is handling it all but does anyone have any recommendations around SoCal (LA/Westside/Burbank etc) of any classic paint and body shops? Every single one of AAA's referrals won't take a classic and it's a crap shoot just looking around online.

If anyone has had any great experience at a shop I'd love to hear it and I'll check em out!

I have used this place previously, they did really good work on a bumper and front quarter panel, when I was hit. Based in Inglewood.

I didn't see any really old vehicles in there when I was there (mostly newer BMW's/Audi's), but their workmanship was exceptional, and they seemed really friendly and accommodating, so if they wouldn't do an older vehicle, I am sure they would refer you onto a quality place that did. It did take them around a week to complete the job though.

 

There is a place that dose only classic cars in culver city on Playa st at the inter section of
