Default Corvette Restoration-Kentuckiana. Thoughts?

Would appreciate any +/- comments and or recommendations on Corvette Restorations.com in Kentuckiana (near Louisville on Indiana/Kentucky line). My son wants his '72 painted and is interested in hearing from people who have had their cars painted there and the level of satisfaction and customer service you received fare pricing, etc. He wants a quality job, original color (steel cities gray), but not lacquer. Used for local car shows and cruising in the Nashville area and will never be NCRS or BG judged. Thanks in advance for your impressions of this restoration shop. Thanks.

Go to Glass Overlook Road SE on Google satellite. Go to the end of the road. His shop is in the clump of trees and his private garage is the one in the clearing.

I've been to his shop 3-4 times. He gave me a tour once. He had some nice cars there that he'd worked on. I know his wife and her two brothers. Good people. He told me he had a shop in Louisville for years but lost it in a divorce a long time ago. He seems to stay pretty busy. Never heard anything negative about his business or him.

That's all I know.

Hey Panama!

How did you hear about Corvette Restorations? He doesn't advertise locally that I know of. I've not seen any regional or national advertising yet he seems to stay busy.

He also promoted this project for awhile but I don't think he had any takers.

He lives in Franklin, TN and went to several cars and coffee to see if he could get some recommendations. Corvette Restorations was mentioned a couple of times so I told him I would ask around on a couple of forums to see what else I could learn for him. He may be planning a trip up there soon to check things out a little closer. Thanks for your comments.
