Default 68 Restoration in NJ ?

Does anyone know of a high quality C3 restoration shop in NJ? I am trying to find a somewhat local shop to get my 68 Big Block restored. If you make a recommendation please let me know what your interaction has been with the shop, owners etc... Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply. Where out on the Island? Have you gone through the process of restoring your Vette with this shop?

There's a shop on Long Island that is owned by Kevin McKay.
Don't know if this is the shop Redvetracr is refering to.
McKay is a big name in Corvette restoration.
I believe he has restored vettes for another big name in vettes,Chip Miller.

GQ82 only has McKay touching his '71.
Ask GQ82(Jerry) for info.
Be prepared to wait and spend the $$$.

:cheers:

Are you ready to spend anywhere from $50,000 to $85,000 that is the going price for a restore job. Oh don't forget to ask them to re-stamp all the numbers to make it a #matching vette when finished.

I live in Warren Township and just got mine done my Strictly Corvettes. They are near Trenton. 609-585-8770. Bob is the owner. Feel free to use my name - Dan Fulop - if you like......

If you want, you can come over to see my car and the job they did. (though i'd doing some work on the engine now.)
