Any Paint/Body Shop Recommendations in the Chicago Area?

[RDSChicago]

I just bought a 1973 Baur Targa. The body is structurally sound, although the rockers are rusted as well as a few spots on the passenger door. It was repainted at some point from Jade Green to a mint green, and I want to have the body work done and get it repainted this winter. Also need the seats restuffed.

Can any one recommend a good shop, preferably in the Chicago area?

Also, I always get the question from a body shop - how much do you want to spend? That always seems like a loaded question. If I want a nice paint job with taking all of the moldings and glass out, etc., what is the range I should be paying, inclusive of the minor body work I mentioned?

I'm not looking for concours, but not looking for Earl Schieb either!

Thanks.

I would give Ben Thongsai a call/visit. He is well known in the '02 World.

Did you buy this locally? I knew of one at a Lexus dealer of all places, It was on EBAY yesterday. Where are all these 02s coming from? At one time, I knew where most of them were, I'm getting out of touch. If you need stuff, I'm in the north suburbs.

after some lady hit it while parked in the street.

Do you have your car serviced at Europa as well?

Thanks.
