I have a 1978 Pontiac Phoenix coupe that spent the first 25 years of her life as a daily driver in Northwest Ohio. Rain, humidity, sun, salt and use had taken their toll. We had her restored at an body shop in the early 90's for about $8,000.
Here it is 2009, and she's rusty again. (Left her in outdoor storage when I moved west) and I don't really want to spend another $8 grand to have someone else do the work. I have some skilled friends and ambition, so I'd like to do it that way.
Anyway, the question is, new body panels for this car are VERY hard to find (just spent the last two hours swearing at Google for the crappy results). Does anyone know a reputable online business where I can order new sheet metal body parts (quarter panels / door skins / floor pans, etc) for this car please?
... thanks, but JC Whitney - who's slogan at the top of the page is "We have your parts, no matter what." was nice enough to tell me "sorry, no parts could be found for that vehicle"... see what I mean about HARD TO FIND... grrr.
