Body shop suggestions

I posted this on the exterior forums, but seems this thread is more appropriate. Wondering if anyone has suggestions on a good body shop in the vegas area, and maybe if someone know a great rotary mechanic as well.

I need quite a bit amount of work done to the car.

Trailer the car out here to Rancho Cucamonga. There is a great body shop called D'Automan AutoBody that has done quite a few rotaries now, and R&R Rotary is a great engine shop with an excellent reputation. It's here in Upland about 5 miles from the body shop.

Well worth a 4 hour drive IMO.

I've got alot of friends in Vegas that are into old schools and all they do is complain about the prices of shops out there. If you have heard of a shop called Factor X you might contact Mike and see if he will help with your motor problems. He's very expensive though.

Also if you've seen an old Corolla running around with Island Chain Racing on it you can try and talk to him about who did his paint. He's local, but very very slow.

the people at r&r ripped one of my friends off $500. he just wanted a turboII swap and he was quoted a month till completion and $1000 down. he waited about a month and nothing original engine still intact. he waited more and it still never got done and he just said to stop and wanted his $$ back. he only got 500 back so he basically paid 500 to let his car sit. he had a thread somehwere here just type in r&r
