Paint and Body Work, and more!!!!!

[bjbain]

I have just ordered my fender, hood, grill assembly. As soon as I put the new parts on, I want to have the wrinkles taken out and a nice paint job. Does anyone know of a reliable and cost-effective body shop in the Dallas/Fort Worth area?

Also, there are all kind of parts I need to get, ie. outside window trim, rear window stabilizers and alot of small stuff that I can't find anywhere, other than a dealer. Is there a TR4 bible for my 1987 that I can use as a reference when ordering these type of parts?

One more thing, I don't know how long it has been since the top has been removed. When I remove it, which is soon, I am sure I will need to take off and replace the seal. What is the best seal, where can I find it?

Thank you for your time

ricks midnite auto in north arlington. he does a whole car or truck for 1100-ish and bodywork for an extra 500 give or take depending on your project. he's going to paint my 90 4runner and my 72 chevy truck. rick was suggested by a friend of mine, and i met him, real nice (BIG) guy! came out to my house to give me a quote and gave me some tips and info for some places to help me finish my truck.

edit: "midnite" is spelled like that, just thought i'd clarify that

I wouldnt worry about the seal until you get the top off. I havent had any troubles with mine and I have had it off and on several times
