I'm looking for a good shop to do some repair on my svt. On all four of the doors, where the door skin folds under and up at the bottom of the door, the rust is starting to get bad. It's worse on the drivers door, but it has shown up on the other as well. The rust has actually left a streak on my sideskirt and more are faintly appearing. I need to get this fixed sometime soon. If anyone knows any shops in the south milwaukee/racine area, please let me know. If anyone knows of someone gtting this all repaired before, if you have a price that I should be searching around for let me know.

Its mostly surface rust thats bubbling the paint. hasn't gone to the front of the door skin. The drivers door is a little worse though. Thanks for the time.
 
I would highly recommend Authentic Automotive in Cudahy.

They've done several jobs for me, both body and mechanical. They do really good work, and they're good people to boot. When you show up ask for Don. They may not remember me as its been a while since I've been there, but if you mention "the Contour guy" they might.
 
what color is your car? would be way cheaper just to drive down and get some doors from me
 
Silver Fro.

I'll have to check that place out. Thanks. Anyone know of anyone who has had this done before? I'm curious of how much something like this could run. Regardless, I'm going to have to do something anyways.
 
pinky's is another decent place in milwaukee that does body work.

dunno, I guess it depends on how bad the rust is. your going to need to hold your breath and grab your ankles.
 
Yea, I figure the 3 doors won't be so bad, the rust is just started to bubble the paint in a spot or two, I can chip a little and see solid metal. The drivers door has me worried though. I can drop some cash, but I want to stay out of 4 figure numbers if I can.

Bagged, when I get an estimate or quote, I'll let you know how much. Me coming to Mich. to get the doors would have to be cheaper to justify the drive/time. And I dont know when I could get a vehicle to come and pick them up.
