My little red corvette was recently involved in its fiirst collision, and I don`t know where to take it for the show quality repair it deserves. Does any one have any recommendations. I live in the Naperville - Aurora area southwest of Chicago IL.

Sorry to hear about that; glad you're ok. Post same question in regional forum might be one suggestion (front page of CF, then look down for regions section). Also, do an advanced search, and then highlight only the regional section for your area. "Body shop," "painting", etc., might be the search words to use.

I'm sure some C4ers will pop in this thread.

Hey Dennis, thanks.I took it to D&M for the est. and talked to Pete and took the tour of the shop, nothing but great Corvettes. I have seen them represented at many shows, but never met any one who had them do any work. Did they do work for you? If so were you satisfied with the end result?
