Welcome to the CF. I'm not aware of any shop, but get in touch with any Corvette Club in your surrounding area and ask who has had restoration work done and by whom. Dennis

Give Chris Springer a call. He's out of Los Gatos, Santa Cruz mountains.

Definitely one of the best out there!

A good friend of mine had a lot of work done at McJacks in Santa Ana. They are painting the car now. He seems to be very satisfied.
