Reputable body shop for 72 911?

[Silvertip]

I crunched the left rear quarter panel of my 72T, quarter panel and left rear bumper half are toast. None of the shops recommended by my insurance company will work on classic cars.
I am hoping to find recommended shops in Southern California from you, preferably in Ventura or San Fernando Valley.
Can anyone help?

Perfect Lines Restoration in North Hollywood. They have multiple Celette benches if needed. Did a great job straightening the tub and replacing structural metal on my 76.

Glad you're safe.
Be patient with the process and pick a shop you trust.
Look into a 2 hour radius and ship the car, if need be

Here's the repair thread on my 76 from Perfect Lines.

Check with Dave or Penni at TRE Motorsports.
My 911 got backed into while it was under a car cover, damaging the left rear and taillight. The shop that Dave sent the car off to did an amazing job repairing my car.

I can't recall the name of the body shop, but they were a couple of miles away from TRE and, again, they did beautiful work.

Draw - thanks for the lead! I will be contacting them this morning - although I don’t know if they will be interested in working on a 72 T driver after having restored a legendary 917. Being 10 miles away is a bonus.

Rodsrsr - read your thread on your beautiful 911. Wow! Like you I purchased my car knowing that it had been in an accident, although the previous owner said it was minor. The car looked and handled well, and it wasn’t for a few years later that a knowledgeable owner suggested that the frame may be bent due to having constant trouble keeping it aligned. I just can’t afford to have the work done to go through the process you did. I will be contacting Perfect Lines as well.


Drew001 - thanks for the tip on TRE, I will talk to them as well.


I need to get as many estimates as possible - don’t want to have the insurance company total the car over the cost of repairs.

Thanks again all, your help is greatly appreciated.
