Default Body/Paint Recommendation Seattle Area

I have a 66 coupe and it is time for a repaint. Anyone have a recommendation for a shop in the Seattle area? Preferably in the north end.

As always, thanks.

This Sunday is the all corvette show at triple x in Issaquah. Come on out and see some cars and get suggestions. There is corvettes of auburn, and I can't think of the shop in Olympia that does top work but those prices start at about $12k. Depending on condition of car there is a very good place up in mt Vernon, Arlington area.

I did some research last year and the only body shop I found that dealt mostly with corvettes in the Seattle area was Corvettes of Auburn. Most info I found says they go good work. I got an over the phone "ballpark" quote of $15K depending on condition. They said paint and bodywork was less than that but most owners get the "While it's apart might as well fix/chrome this or that" syndrome which results in a final bill between $10 to $20K. I decided to get all the mechanicals sorted out before I make it look pretty.
BTW, I have a 66 327 and only live a couple of miles from you. After reading a few of your posts it's seem I'm probably a few years behind where you are. Would love to see your car if that 's something you would be interested in.
