Looking for a body shop recommendation around new braunfels
It's for my mustang. 1994. Needs the whole thing gone over. This isn't a wreck or insurance claim, just a guy with an older project car trying to get it nice again.
Went the "traditional" route of going to a body local body shop and talking to an adjuster and getting an estimate. I'm sure they would do fine work but what they do is a literal panel-by-panel piece-by-piece estimate which nickel and dimes you to death. I understand if it's just a fender it's this much, or if it's just a door it's that much, but when you're doing both it's not literally double the effort. I'm not looking for cheap, just looking for fair consideration that if you aren't pulling the vehicle in and out for every panel or masking things off to work one panel at a time the labor isn't really the same as every panel individually.
I'm open to body and paint guys who take side work too.
