I probably should get a new top before I get the "extras".....no roll bar, ya know. I will talk to Cory...so the people that are recommending this fine gentleman had body work done by Mr. Jump? Sorry to hear about the accident from Salem OR....spent a lot of time in OreGUN. Thanks for all the advice. The recommendations locally were for a shop that would not do the work....real people are still out there.

No personal work done by Cory but I know him through racing--his cars are well-prepped. You mentioned that you could not find someone in OKC who worked on porch's, so I gave you a starting point. If he can't handle what you're looking for he'll be able to direct you to someone who can. Give him a call.

They will blend the quarter and fender to hide any mismatch in paint. No one really panel shoots red.

Can you take some pictures for us. Possibly before during and after? Before you get started with whoever you are going to use, let us know their procedure. Any good body shop will blend the color and clear coat the whole panel they blending to. You should not have to pay anything out of your pocket. When it's done and your not happy you should contact your insurence company and they usually will work with you to make it right. I know the body business and how insurance companies work. You obviously have have a decent company because more than half the companies require used replacement panels not new.

Try finding a used Porsche door thats insurance quality. Not going to happen. Also pick a good shop in your area. If your not happy with the paint when its done its between you and the shop. The insurance company isnt liab unless you went to one of thier recommended shops.

Recomend is just what the word means, but you do not have to go there. If a shop does bad work you are just out there to hang? Not so. I have been there. There are some really bad body shops out ther that have no business working on cars.

Notice how the RED from the 2013 Chevy Suburban blends into the Horizon Blue Metallic....

To me and if it was my car that fender should be repaired and not replaced. If you replace it you are opening a whole can of worms. 964 fenders dont come off easy and will show evidense of replacement where as the repair will go unnoticed.

I agree. Looks like you were fortunate the main damage was confined to just one panel - the door skin. Lucky it didn't hit your sill or the front/rear fenders significantly. Definitely don't replace the fenders - unless there is more damage the pics are not showing.....

Cheers
