Just wondering if anyone knows a good auto body shop near Columbus Ohio. No accident to report just a new Halltech GT2 Dred hood on the way.

So far online searches have recommened Achbach Auto Industries in Westerville. I realize that this is a long shot but I was hoping someone on this forum may have a recommendation to look into.

I will leave the center carbon fiber and have the rest painted victory red (borrowed this pic from spoiled996 - one of my favorite rides here on this forum).



I have not seen a victory red car with the GT2 hood yet. If its out there please post some pics!



Another benefit besides the cooling is to peak at the Halltech Super Bee without having to open my hood.

I had heard that the painter for Jack Maxton chevy is very good. You might want to call IPS motor sports in Columbus for some more reccomendations.

not a bad start so far. I'd look at this page tho and call a few of the presidents for where their members go.

Dang I need to see this beast. You ever go to any car meets in the summer?

Good idea. I take my car there. Their corvette tech is primo. Highly recommend Gerry. Did not know that they can shoot quality paint. I will look into it. I am also familar with IPS, good call. I was up there in the summer getting a quote on a cam & some header work. Decided to postpone that for now.

Thanks

Here and there, my issue is that I travel a lot overseas. Let me know the good ones. I always go up to Mid Ohio for the American Lemans races. This year I plan on taking my car and parking it in the corvette coral.

Now that was what I have been waiting to hear. I am definitely going to stop by their shop.

A member from Columbus took his carbon fiber hood to the body shop guy at Jack Maxton. I saw it and it was top notch paint. I believe the members name was Gary Sheppard, he did a post on it last year, search for it. I am thinking about the Lingenfelter twin turbo hood and will look up the painter at Maxton when I do.

Will do! Thanks, that is my dealership. I will have Jack Maxton and Dan at Achbach give me quotes.

Found it. Member c6coop.

The hood looks really nice. I sent him a private PM.



Thanks again and GO MOUNTAINEERS !!!
