Oh No !!!...emergency help needed....

An hour after I arrived in the N.C. mountains today my buddy backed his Dodge pick-up over the front of my Baby.... UGH... it is BAD including the part where he imbedded his trailer hitch in my hood...here's where I need help...I'm going from here to Myrtle Beach on the 27th...if there is an excellent body shop/man in M.B. maybe I can get it fixed while I'm there (for a week)... anybody know anyone ???... no pix..it's hard to even look at it... thanks...Dan

Dan:

I don't know any shops in the area. Why not see if you can find a local Corvette club and call them for a recommendation?

That's horrible news.

As far as body shops, I seriously doubt they would have it for you in a week, even if they could fit you in.

someone had done somthing very similar to me and I got the fiberglass repaired and the bumper and part of the hood re-painted. Car looks great now and I get even more compliments than before. E-mail me and I will get you the name and number of the body shop.

I agree. My baby is in the bodyshop as we speak because of a moron backing into it and plowing it into some polls that were behind the car. :cry
I m going to be waiting till the middle of next month for her to be ready!!!!

Try paging DropTopDave. I believe he is right from that general area and pretty cool for a cop.

Just get it done right. Body shops are horrible with dates. Just take care of it at home. Because if you have a complaint you don't want to take a trip just to complain. Fix it when you get home.
