i live in the southwest side of michigan and i am trying to find a shop to put my car on a rotisserie and have the underside stripped of rust and have it redone before it gets to bad. mainly its surface rust now but i dont really want to romp on the throttle until i get the underbody fixed up. if anyone knows of a good shop in my area just give me a shout with the number and approx how much it might possibly cost for the repairs. even someone a couple hundred miles away would be fine if they knew what they are doing and for the right price. i want to get it done this winter while it sits...thanks in advance - james. p.s. it is a '89 mustang gt w/ the bright red paint (not sure the name of the paint, anyone know?????)

I'm in Shelby Township about 25 miles N of the Big D. There are several place in my area that I would reccomend to you. Here's 3 right off the top of my head.

1. is a place called Strip-It Co Plastic Media, 36427 Groesbeck Hwy.Clinton Twp.(586) 792-7705 I've had work done by them several times and am very pleased with their work.

2. is a body shop called JR's Collision, 46930 Van Dyke Ave. Shelby Twp. (586)739-9235 which is less than a 1/2 mile from my house. They are a body shop that will repair any make of car, but they also do a lot of rotisserie classic car restorations. Although I've never had any work done by them, I've seen some of the cars that have rolled in and out of their place and I'll tell you their work is OUTSTANDING!

3. is another body shop called Gentiles Collision Inc. 50499 Van Dyke Ave. Shelby Twp. (596)739-3777 I've had paint work done by them and I also have bought a lot of truck accessories from them. They are a great place to deal with, and they do great work in a timely manner.

Hope this helps. Trust me, any of them are worth the drive.
