Default Corvette restorers in NC?

Hey guys, a friend of mine has a C2 that needs some work. He's looking for a restorer that can do it.

Wondering if there are any highly recomended big names around?

Central, but I think he's looking for a list of names across the State, probably into VA as well.

Just the best of the best for the least price

I have a couple of friends that restore C1's and C2's. They are in Florida with three cars they are selling down there for the big NCRS show. I will put them in contact with you when they return.

I'll second that nomination! Wayne's been restoring C1s and C2s for over 30 years. The first time I met him and saw his shop was in 1977.

Wayne is a very good person to contact. Extremely knowledgeable!

There is also Rick Osborne, his shop is in Southport, NC. It's called Coastal Corvettes. He is THE MAN!!! That really sums up his talent. He can do anything from a NCRS frame off, to a brake job. You should be able to find his number on a google search. If not, let me know.
