Taking this winter season to address finally the bit of wasted metal by the driver's side jack triangle and edge of rear wheel housing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) See photos.

BUT - of the few shops around here, all only want a 2-3 year, >6-figure resto job or are so busy with normal collision work they don't want to do small one-off jobs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I don't have the space, equipment, or skills, though have ordered the new jack triangle part.

Soooo... anyone around here in Northern NJ a) know of a small shop or retired person with ability/interest to do this work or b) has the space, equipment, and skill to do it?
There seems to be many in the forum that do this kind of work themselves (even Frances!), but any in this area? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
