Need advice body work

[Fiddledeede2]

I have a 94 ATX with 81K miles. Unfortunately due to some 5 mile/hour mishaps it has a number of small dents and scratches. I went to the ford dealer to ask them for a quote to fix them and they quoted around $4000 because they pretty much planned on replacing evry panel with a ding.

I don't want to spend $4000 - any ideas for getting them fixed cheaper so that my car looks as well as it runs.

hmmm....

well you could take it to another bodyshop, I would NEVER take my SHO to a Ford dealer, esp for body work. Get another quote.

Try that first, unless you want to try it yourself and then just have it painted... shrug

Depending on what is dented and what not, you could always find used parts on the Forum, shoclub.com, or the junkyard. Put them on yourself and just have them repainted. You'll save yourself alot of money that way.

JDLangevin - Do you have any recommendations for a body shop. Is there a particular frnachise you would recommend or would you go to a Mom and Pop shop.
