Really not an easy job... I'm going to turn this link on for you on the site.. then you can read about it a bit. http://willcoxcorvette.com/repairand...lp.php?hID=306 Please let me know when you get this file.. copy and save it.

Can you post some pictures of the damage?

Willcox

Gary,

You might try contacting a local Corvette club, someone there might have some suggested repair shops. I think the "Tulsa Vette Set" is a large club that has been around awhile.
