Recommended Body Shop in SE WI?
Hi all,
It's been along since I've posted. My project ('71 Cheyenne Fleet) has been stalled, partially due to laziness, and partially due to the realization that the next step for my truck is to get the cab squared away. Needs some floor and door work, and cab corners, the usual. I'm not afraid to try the work, but I don't have the tools. I'm not planning on ever doing another vehicle, so I figure that purchasing the tools and supplies could easily cost as much as simply getting the work done by a professional. And I would like to get a static 4/6 lowering kit installed, I could probably handle that, if a C-Notch is not required (I've seen a lot of conflicting opinions on that). Can anyone recommend a quality/reliable and reasonably priced Body Shop/Customization place in South East Wisconsin? Maybe someone that has a history of working with our trucks? I might consider shipping the truck, if the shop is just that good. (I can't remember if stating business names in a thread is against the Forum rules, so a PM would be okay.) TIA! |

Re: Recommended Body Shop in SE WI?
I don't know how far you are from Chippewa Falls, but as far as I'm concerned you've got the top shop in the nation, or one of them, in your back yard: Musclecar Restoration in Chippewa Falls, WI. I've shipped whole projects there and even shipped my truck out across the country just to do the paint on the blue truck even though I was doing the resto myself.
What they are not is cheap, however. But if you've got the funds, they're genuine craftspeople.

Thank you for your quick response. I checked out their website. Will give them a call when they're open.

Not in southeast Wisconsin, but Eagle Collision in Eagle River did the paint and body on my '69. They have a building devoted to restorations. The person who heads that portion of their business also did most of the paint and body work on my NCRS Duntov and Bloomington Gold '58 Corvette. They also do full restorations including mechanical. I highly recommend them. Call and ask for Mark. (715)479-4311

Re: Recommended Body Shop in SE WI?
Thank you! Yes, I understand that good work isn't cheap, and I'm not trying to cheap-out, just wanted to make sure that fair pricing was a parameter for the recommendation. As we all know, there are some shady Auto Body Shops out there. I suppose I should've worded it that way. If I was being completely honest, I don't what fair prices are for the work that is needed. I am going to see what kind of quotes I can get based on photographs, if possible.

To give you another option, I'll plug my cousin's shop: Driven Restorations outside of Randolph. Not a budget shop either, but they don't cut corners. They recently renovated their whole shop and have a brand new paint booth.

Re: Recommended Body Shop in SE WI?
Not to worry. It’s going to be a while for me. Just looking at options for now.
