Jackies auto body in Port Charlotte does good work that I have seen, he restores old cars, actually what I mean is he does most of the paint for peoples old hotrods and things like that, if you go to the car shows in punta gorda/port charlotte(mostly old vettes and various 50's and 60's cars) he does most of the paint. Everything I have seen looks really good, but with any body/paint shop I have heard my share of bad stories about the guy as well.

Talking I found the guy

Ok I got it... I found my old friend from CT... He is in Florida now.

To make it very simple, the guy is awesome. This is a guy that does his body work and paint himself. He has painted some of the best paint jobs I have ever seen...

I spoke to him and he told me that he was going to put the body kit and paint the my car first and then I could send him people... I will keep you posted with the info...

i ended up going to auto f/x right by the jag dealer in ft myers on us41, they came highly recommended. Dropped off the car monday so he said it should be 2-3 weeks.
