I will be taking in my 2010 CGM 2LTRS for some body work on the rear quarter panel above the driver tire, any reccomendations on a place that will do quality work at a fair price im leaning towards herb's but am not sure, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure where in Dallas you are but Chis is just about the only one I'll let touch my cars....including my 1st Gen Camaros.

He may not be the cheapest but if you want it done right the first time he is the place to go. If you have an insurance claim price shouldn't be an issue.

Just take a look at some of his work in the Classic Restoration area.

If you go to him, let him know I sent you.

Another quality shop is Gardner Auto body in Collyville. David Gardner does excellent work.

Yes...Chris Recker. He is the owner. Go to the website and under the Our Team section you'll see him and his team. He'll probably be the one to do the estimate for you.

Let him know Caverman with the Red/White striped 5th Gen. He also did the paint/body work on my '69 convertible back in 1999. The paint on my '69 is still a show winning paint job and it's a driver not a trailer queen.

Take a look around their website. Go get an estimate, meet Chris and take a look around at their shop. I'm pretty sure you'll be impressed.

He has done work an several 5th Gen Camaros. Seveal stripes and even two toned one already. Unfotuneately for me someone already scratched my 5th gen a few months back. He had to paint the whole quarter panel and bumper. It came out perfect.

I've used Payne and Sons in Garland. Would use them again.

I second Caverman's opinion. Chris painted the stripes on my 2010 and did a great job. I would highly recommend the quality.
