Body shop for metal work in SoCal area | Fiberglass recommendation
Hello everyone,
I have a 74 911 that needs some metal repair that I didn't catch before I purchased it and I am looking for a body shop in SoCal near the Thousand Oaks or Simi Valley areas. The driver side A pillar/ windshield frame needs the most work but the the other corners need some repair work too. I also would like to do a sunroof delete, battery tray weld in and the front latch panel welded in for a backdate. Also I am looking for recommendations on fiberglass/ Carbon fenders from TRE, Getty Design and Rennspeed. TRE and Getty are close on price but Rennspeed is significantly cheaper. Most of the threads I've found related to the topic are at least 10 years old.

Perfect Lines Restoration in North Hollywood did a great job on my car, including the 73 style longhood latch panel.
