    72 Skylark badly damaged. Next steps?

    Well that didn't last long...
    I purchased a 1972 Buick Skylark 4 door sedan in November. The car spun out on the wet roads today in Philadelphia.
    Badly damaged drivers side fender, drivers door, and rear quarter panel.
    I want to get it fixed but not sure where to start.
    All repair costs are out of pocket.
    So, I'm looking for a body shop in the Philly area that'll handle the task.

    Also, if anyone knows of the a junk yard around Philly to search for a fender or door I'm not opposed to replacing those parts myself.

    Thanks for any help.

    you boys use road salt. i have a hard time believing there would be much worthwhile left from 1972 sitting out in a junk yard.

    AACA forums have a pretty thriving parts scene, although they tend to go a bit older than us.

    TAPerformance.com may have some parts.

    course, i say the above and then recommend a place in Delaware

    Thanks for the reply. I have a lead on a couple parts. Thanks for the links too. I’ll check them out. Hopefully we can get it back together.

    Nick Servo at Ivyland Collision has completed many repairs on Buicks and is well known in the Buick Community. Good Guy.
