Body shop?
Have a jacked up rear end... turned out the whole rear deck lid was covered in mud, glass, and more mud. Have decent conditioned rear deck lid and panel, and 4" flared full quarters. Live in the northern Virginia area, looking for some one decently priced to tear apart and put the new rear on. I would do it myself but much rather have it done right once then pay twice... any help or anyone know someone?

Hey, welcome to the Corvette Forum! I think you'll soon find it to be one of the most useful tools in your tool box!
You might want to contact Chuck Berge in Haymarket Virginia. He's the 1968-69 NCRS team leader and could certainly give you some reliable advice. (thanks Alan...)

you are looking for a corvette specific shop.
Not just a body shop, standard body shop has no clue,
or experience with fiberglass cars.
find someone with experience with fiberglass,
a standard body shop will fill it, in with bondo, cover it with primer, and paint it.
you won't know that until about 1 year later.

Unless you just do not want to do this yourself...All I can say is you better find someone who REALLY KNOWS what they are doing.
And when you are stating 'decently priced'....hopefully the person you find fits that criteria.
