Fixing Body Damage

Hey guys,
ive got some body damage that im gonna get fixed when it gets a little close to spring time. my friend's dad owns Advanced Auto Body in Worcester and he is a really good body worker(if thats the word) and does a real good job painting. The damage is that the front left fender has a hole in it maybe the size of a baseball, prbly a little smaller and there is a dent right behind the passenger side door about 6-10 inches in diameter. i bought the car used and it had this so dont ask me what happened, cuz i dunno. My friend's dad quoted me $700 to do the body work and to blend the paint...i was wondering if u guys knew ne good body shops around here and if ne of u guys could do good price and good quality body work to get this stuff fixed...thanx

take it easy every1,
jake

if i was you i would try to find a used fender and depending on the condition of the paint i would just panel paint it then buff that whole side(instead of blending) you should blend the bumper and hood too if you are goin to get into it.

i believe he was gonna blend the hood, the door, and the nose, im not exactly sure, i cant do ne of this on my own cuz i dont know how to do body work or paint, i guess if sum1 could help me put on the new fender that would save me some, but i really would just like a good job done on the car for a good price...

D&B autobody its on belmont st um not sure what it would cost the only thing you would have to really worry about it paint supplys and try to find a used fender i know that local there isnt any camaros in the junk yards ill look monday and see how much a fender would be we get it at cost so i could help you out on that as far as the small dent on the quater did it break the paint? if not i would try dent wizzard cheaper by a long shot if it is doable .

thanx man, yeah id love for you to find out some details for me. i would really appreciate it. as for the dent...there is a little paint chipped off right in the crack of the door, but not like in the middle of the dent, is that what u were talkin about? also, i wanted to get it professionally repaired by an auto body shop to make sure it is done right and it comes out good with the paint and everything.

whats up, it will be about 185 for factory fender list is 258.39 i believe it was. you could go a/m but the fit wil proubly be horrible since aftermarkit **** sucks.just painting the fender would guessmateing be around 50-100 for just the fender and the quater i dont know i would have to see how big the dent is i am sure i could get one of the body men to fix it real cheap the only expensive part would be the painting. you can talk to me on aim my nic is naztyz28 catch you later.
