Some are still hesitent to get body work done south of the border, but the workmanship and price are pretty darn good. My racing buddy Ted rolled his 356 at the HSR West Palm Springs race this past November and had just about every part of the car dented, twisted or crumpled. Here are some before and after shots of what he had done. The roof was replaced and you can not see where the welding was done and the fenders and hoods were hammered out!

I can't give an exact price but it was about $2,000 and they used their paint. Time was about 3 weeks, I'd guess a lot of hammering! It cost an extra $100 to paint the white circles on the doors as it took a guy about 2 hours to setup the masking and they are perfectly round! Ted got some vintage numbers to go on the car so it will definately look like it did in the 60's.
