There isnt many places up here that could be considerd corvette specialty shops of true high quality. If Your looking to get someone to do the #'s matching type repairs then there is only two that I know of, that would be detailed enough. One is Legendary Motor cars, the other is RM restoration- they are one of the best in Nort America.

I have never heard anything good about Stingray. Try posting in the Canadian section:

None of the specific repairs you've mentioned would require a Corvette specialist shop- any decent old car garage with a grey haired mechanic should be able to do a good job.

I use a "speed shop" in Barrie, On. Ed's Performance, he personally does drag racing and is very capable of doing the work you are asking about. I trust him with my '77. You just need someone who does performance modifications, etc., there may be someone in Oshawa (your car town).
Good Luck
