Default Need a body shop in DFW: C6

I wrecked my GS this past Saturday morning. Woke up 2 hours late to cars and coffee. Ran outside, started the car, I unlatched the roof and went to hop out of the car and left it in first gear. F my life!!! Now I'm looking for suggestions of top notch body shops that work on corvettes or other sports cars. I'm still in disbelief that my muscle memory failed to check that the car was not in gear.
Thanks, Steve

Thanks for the referral. Triple F referred me to mid cities classics. Jim Welsh at MCC will do the repairs for me.

Let me know how your experience is. I have rear flares and some other goodies that need to be fitted and painted.

Thanks!

I have been busy selling and buying a house so I have not had time to worry about the Vette. All of that is done now and I towed the car to mid cities classics Tuesday afternoon. They have several corvettes on site. All generations. Great first impression of the shop and owner. I know the car will be done right the first time. They will not install any remanufactured parts whatsoever in this shop. Genuine GM parts, new out of the box. Perfect!

Steve, By now you must have completed the repairs to your car. How did they turn out? Were you happy with the work they did? Would you recommend them?
PS. My C6 looks just about like yours did, just not for the same reason.
