With the bodywork threads coming & going, I thought for future reference for others seeking bodywork I'd post the pics I have of the work Crystal Autobody did to my car & Wheels in spring of '07.
As some might remember I had my pass Qtr panel crushed in severely with a good amount of creasing. Thier body guy 'Thor' had it repaired- not replaced in 2 working days. I dont have 'before' pics of it, but it was pretty nasty and most everyone agreed the panel was trash.
These are of it almost done and alot of the mud came off still from what you see pictured. He brought back the curves of the panel perfectly and there are no imperfections in his worksmanship- even the reverse side of the panel looks amazing. If anyone wants to see upclose, let me know.
I got it returned to me with the qtr panel in primer since it was going out immediately for paint.

The wheels most most know they also did. The fronts came powdercoated in gunmetal and the rears came polished since the gunmetal 17x11's were 'just' discontinued when my order got placed. The rears are painted, not powdercoated and they got the match about perfect. It took them 2 times to get the shading right on the rears, but the end result is amazing.
rears... too much bling fo rme
