Exclamation Body work/Rust proof

Whats up everyone,
I have a quick question, and i would like to see if anyone can lead me into the right direction.
I want to do body work this winter, but at the same time every year i rust proof my car... so what im asking is.. Should i rust proof the car first then get the body work ?, or do the body work first and then rust proof?. Keep in mind body work wont get done till i find a good place to do it, this could be months.. this all depends if i can find someone reliable and that does not ask for a ridiculous price. What should i do ?.


OH btw does anyone have suggestions for anyone who does exccellent body work?.

Thanks in advance

i'd never ever get body work done in the winter, the materials just don't like a wide range in temperatures, meaning when an employee opens the door to go outside, or open the garage door to take a car in and out, it's no good for the body work. just my opinion, god knows there is a ton of work that gets done in the winter due to all the fender benders.

team ruckus has always done nice body work, he's a master of metal.

A lot of people do good body work, cheaper is not always better, and vise versa. The fact of the matter is, you want your car to shine in the summer, your body work should be done in early fall. Early fall is the best time to do all your work, especially in a city like Toronto. This is when the temperature's average is the same, the rain is minimal and proper storage temperatures are norm. Do not work on the car's body in the winter unless it is absolutely necessary for you do so (if of course you want best quality). To answer your question, first do your body work then do your rust proof, though i'm not sure what kind of body work your talking about, I'm thinking the general repainting and fixing up dents and rust.
