Bodywork

Panel & frame.

Panel replacement, alignment and frame correction that returns gaps, lines and fit to exactly what the factory intended.

What it is

If the structure is wrong, everything else is cosmetic.

Panel and frame work is the part of the repair nobody sees, and the part that decides whether the rest of the job holds up.

A door that closes a little heavy, a gap that runs wide at one end, a hood that sits proud on one side. Those are not paint problems. They are structure problems, and no amount of finish work hides them. We correct the frame and hang the panels so the vehicle measures out the way it did leaving the factory, then we finish it.

What's included
  • Frame and structural correction back to factory measurement
  • Panel replacement with parts we stand behind
  • Panel alignment so gaps and body lines run true
  • Door, hood and trunk fit corrected, not just adjusted
  • Rust and prior-repair remediation where we find it
  • Measured verification before any finish work begins

How we approach it

Straight first. Pretty second.

01

Measured, not eyeballed

Structural work is verified against factory specification. We are not guessing at what straight looks like.

02

Real parts

We do not win the job by quoting the cheapest panel available. We quote the part that belongs on the car.

03

Fit before finish

Nothing gets painted until the gaps, lines and closures are correct. Paint over a bad fit is money wasted.

Next step

Something not sitting right?

If a gap looks wide or a door closes wrong, bring it in. We will tell you what is actually going on underneath.
