Ok I am so happy right now, me and my dad just went down to this autobody shop and we are splitting the cost to have the dent removed, body smoothed(little dings), and have it painted. It's going to be the same color , but the guy is going to put a navy blue pearl in the clear coat so it shimmers.
I'm so anxious right now, it goes in on Wednesday!!!!!
the last pic is my beater, I had to get a pic of her.

Ok, it's a decent deal, best estimate Iv'e gotten round here.
He is getting my a new driverside door skin, resecuring side skirts/front bumper with new fasteners(mine all broke), smoothing rear right and front left QP, and repainting the whole car/engine/doorframes for a measly 1800. I swear you drop a few names and BS with people and they will hook you up. He can have it back to me in 4 days he said as well!

The shop's name is Butler's Auto Body in Sweet Vally, PA. He specializes in bodykits, custom installs, fabrication, machinework, and a little bit of engine work.
The cool thing is that the guy is a complete mustang NUT and showed me some pics. He has had a car in a ricer magazine, he has/had a yellow mustang with an erebuni invader kit that won over 30 tropihes. He won every show he attended.
The one guy there is fcking amazing with fiberglass and they are working on a beretta now that is a complete rice wagon. Suicide doors, big ugly long back bumper, the hood and the trunk open up funny. I think the trunk ipens up like a picnic basket but from the insideout. Like ___ --> /___\ --> L__J
I'll get a pic of it on wednesday when I go back there.

its an additive they use on the paint they will use on plastic parts for example bumpers and mirrors since they cotract and expand with heat you need a paint that is fexible the flex additive cause the paint to be more flexible. |

sounds good just make SURE you get a warranty in writing for work that labels all areas covered explicitly before you let em touch it so you are covered and they cant deny your claim.

My dad is friends with the guy, but we have a contract stating any damage incurred to the car while there will be covered by them. I don't think they will f me over though.
