Default Body Shops

Well, got my COPO body back from the body shop. Two week job turned into two months..nothing more than a couple of little patches along the bottom of the quarters..no big deal right?.......well after starting the finish work on the quarters something didn't look right, and as it turns out the quarters are now worse than when I brought it to him. Body lines are crooked, angles change in the middle of the panel..what is with body shops ..dont these guys get it! All of this even with a recomendation from a good freind who had work done there. I have a call back into him but I do not expect much as this was a cash deal so now I am stuck with having to undo what he has done and repair it all over again. This is hard as I am no expert(or even a novice) at metal work and must rely on others to do this work. Really frustrated at this point as I was hoping to have the car painted by April. I have NOS quarters but do not want to use tham as the car has the originals still on it and I think they are worth saving. Anyone here have any recomendations for a good shop in NJ. Money is not and has never been a issue but I can never seem to get what I pay for. Thanks for letting me vent.
