Default Bodywork Specialists in Houston TX

I need to have my 72 side grills repainted and more importantly have an L88 style hood prepped/painted when I find an acceptable one to rehab. Its hard to find anyone that will work with fiberglass these days. Does anyone have recommendations for shops in the Houston area that will do an excellent job on fiberglass? I think the side grills are pot metal and I'm guessing they have their own challenges as well. I'm aware of Houston Corvette Service on Steffani Lane already. Curious if anyone has had any high quality body work done in the last couple years.
