I'm at the 4-year mark in restoring a '73 2002 tii; it's down to the bare tub and ready for the body work. As it is an original East Coast car, there is a "bit" of rust and needs to have new panels welded in, etc., and I plan to do a bare-metal repaint of the original, and rare, metallic turkis.

I haven't found any shops around the metro area that will do this kind of work, that is, welding, sanding, painting, for a reasonable price. Rumor has it that such shops do exist in Va, Pa, etc.

Can anyone provide me some leads on such body shops???
