First recomendation is Road Race Vette's shop,,,,,,,, 2nd Genrestorations Restoration.........in Walpole Mass

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show...900&highlight=

http://www.2ndgenrestorations.com/

Second Would be Corvettes & Classics in Dighton/tauton Mass

And the third......... would be to contact GINO.........He's a corvette body man from back in the day. He used to have a shop in North Providence . My friend Made contact with Gino during the summer and he told him that he was working in a small autobody shop in cranston on the frame machine and would be game for working on a vett'e if someone was looking for that kind of work. Back in the day ....if someone needed any work on a vette ......Gino was the guy to go too !!

And if you need any mechanical work I can recommend Cumberland Collision ..they did my suspention restoration and more ......

Let me know if I can help you out with anything else.......

I will second the recommendation for 2nd Generation Restorations in Walpole (AKA Road Race Vettes on the Forum). I have visited his shop and seen his work. Fabulous Stan and his staff do great work and they KNOW Corvettes.
