BC Fortune Project Vancouver Body Shops

Looking for a really good custom shop that can handle my Veilside Fortune Build in the Vancouver or Seattle area. Any and all info/referral's are much appreciated.

You should be very careful about which body shop you choose. All shops can do collision repairs without problems, but when you get into custom work, there are very few shops in the Vancouver/Lower Mainland area that I would trust. For the Veilside Fortune kit there are a lot of parts that are not just "paint and bolt on" ie. the gas filler cap, wide fenders, etc. They will also need to be good at "fitting" the kit, making sure all the gaps are even and performing any reshaping or modifications that may be needed to the body panels.

I would suggest SpeedCraft Autoline in Vancouver. The owner/painter there has worked many amazing show cars and he is the only one I would trust with my RX-7. I have just heard too many horror stories about perfectly good cars getting ruined by incompetent body shops. So do your homework and choose wisely.

PM me if you would me to hook you up with SpeedCraft, I know them pretty well.
