It might be an hour drive but Angkor Body and Paint is probably one of the best in California. They are in Stockton off Hammer lane.

Tell me about it. Saturday going home from the club some dumba$$ runs a red light and I ended up T-boning him. Ends up he has no license and insurance and was DUI.

edit: BTW when I was standing on the side of the road I saw a very clean looking SS roadster drive by.

Coast Autobody in San Carlos did the front quarter panel and replaced the skin on the drivers door when I put my into the T2 wall at Sears Point. He was able to match the Brickyard color perfectly and all panels fit well.

Damn...sorry to hear man

Don't worry though, should be good as new soon. As far as recommendations, I'd go with Willams' Autobody in San Mateo. They do excellent work & is also a Z owner himself (240Z). William is a cool guy & real easy to talk to. He's done a lot of Z's including several project cars done by ZCarGarage. Nitrouz recently took his car there after a nightmare of a job from Angel's Body & Paint (Milpitas) & they fixed her up as it should be. The hard part about them is if they have an opening since they have a lot of projects.

Here is a link to their website: http://williamsautobody.net/ . It is also listed under the NorCal Shop Directory.
