This guy was referred to me by Mark Baker.  His name is Marshall.  He is in Plano.  His phone number is 214-878-4718.  I had some touch-up done and looked at several cars in the shop, Porsches, Maseratis, all high end stuff.  I have no idea what he would charge for full resto and paint;but, it doesn't hurt to ask.

I haven't had body work done but I know the hassle I went through finding a transmission shop.  The thing you got to realize is that most shops make their money on insurance claims and routine work. Insurance claims are close to a blank check with everything predetermined and no fear of not getting paid.  With these old cars it's tough to plan for the unexpected.  That's why they always give you these ridiculous estimates.  Even then, don't be surprised if they subcontract out the work.  My only advice would be that the second you feel like you are getting jerked around by a shop to pull your car.  I went through that "we're working on it" crap for 2 weeks with a transmission shop only to go get the car and see that it was never moved from the place I left it.  You're on the right path asking around.  Also, make sure and ask anyone that gives you a referral if they have any business dealings or kick back arrangements.  I've gotten "referrals" to one shop from another shop just to discover they were owned by the same guy!  Good luck man.

I noticed a new body shop in Duncanville that has a lot of different classic cars in different stages of repair and paint.

This thread is old, but wondering if any of the DFW area folks have had favorable results with a local paint shop. I have heard good things about Mid Cities Mustang in Euless and Advantage Auto Works in North Richland Hills but wondering if anyone has any personal experience. . Any other opinions ?
