Default Restoration Needed

Anyone know of good restoration shop near the Richmond VA area? I have mostly cosmetic work needed to be done on the exterior and interior. Just no time to finish it. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

I don't know what's in Richmond, but if are willing to bring the car up about 1.5 hours north, you can take it to http://www.tonyscorvetteshop.com/index.htm.
Tony does excellent and first class work!

Thanks for the reply. I have seen his website and it appeared to be a top notch shop. Just hadn't heard of anyone who has been there. Maybe i'll go up for a visit.

Check out Murphys Auto repair on Staple Mills Rd. in Glenn Allen. Grayson, the owner is also a corvette owner. They can do some beautiful work. May not be cheap, but they are good. Can get you a number if you need but it is in the book. Tell him an old friend in florida sent you!

He worked on my '65.
i know of others who have had their cars worked on by him and all were very pleased.
He is very knowlegable on Vettes, is an NCRS judge, and even holds judging classes at his place.
