Default Bodywork needed

Can anyone recommend a place that does good bodywork?

I have one spot of rust that has tripled in size real quick and I would like to slow it down. In the next couple years I would like to do the whole car again (it's been about 6 years) but I don't want to leave this spot that long.
Thanks

I use CP Autobody. Joe is the guy that runs the shop, does very good work. He's the only guy my dad will let touch his Corvette's and he fixed a few spots on my Chevelle. Its right behind Automotive Engineering in Clearwater.

Thanks.
I may try to get up there this week and at least let them take a look and see what they think and get a quote. I would just rather go somewhere on a referal if you know what I mean.
I was trying to post a pic of it but it's not working, I give up.

His number is 727-530-4542 ext. 208. You can call him if you can't find the place, its off the road a little bit. It doesn't look like much, but he does really good work.

If you want to try and spot the rust from spreading- there a primer on the market- forgot the name of it- looks almost faded yellow/orange- that what I would use to seal it. But you still need to spray on a regualr primer. If might not be a primer-it been a while..maybe someone else know what I'm talking about

Thats o.k. his work it what matters. I know AE so I look for it.

s10_male - thanks
I know of one that is black and like tar, my dad had used it on his Monte Carlo. I 'm just afraid to try bodywork, I'll make it worse
Plus I was hoping to have them paint the spot once the rust is fixed. It will be hard to match but anything is better than a rust spot that will soon be a hole.
