Finally getting around to this after closing on the sale of a house last week. Looking for suggestions on quality work with older American cars. Mine is a 69 Pontiac. Ideally a one stop shop which also does mechanical work for restomods.
 
first off....what happened? and where are the pictures 🙂

Go see Jesse at bluesky auto restoration...builds some insane cars and also loves mountain biking.
 
I’ve had excellent experience at Karl’s auto body in Morristown. Kenny has a 60’s era GT350 and is a pleasure to work with.

It still bothers me to this day that I met him in the parking lot at Lewis Morris and got to talking and he said he owns "Karl's Auto Body" and I said something like "Oh, so you're Karl?" and he was completely puzzled I would assume his name is Karl.

There's no way I'm the first person to make that assumption.

Yep I believe he is a relative of Karl’s. The business started in 1939 so Karl may have been his grandfather 🤷‍♂️
 
Looks like Karls isn't doing classic cars anymore as they have more work than they can handle with accident claims. Haven't checked with Blue sky yet. But I had a good conversation with Dugan's in Whitehouse station. Anyone work with them before?

You just backed the car out of the garage and remembered the door doesnt open? 😜
 
But on a serious note, what kind of car is that? I know useless pop culture from the 80s forward but know absolutely nothing about cars.

Edit: OMG, I looked at your pic a second time and finally see the damage! Wow. I don’t think doors are supposed to open that way, sir. 😮

Absolutely go with Jeff at Dugans. He redid my entire 1957 Chevy, and is my go to with anything regarding my old cars. His attention to detail is excellent, and he actually cares about what he is doing like it is his own car.
