Maybe I shouldn't have thanked you! I just spent $145 on account of you!

Hey CC, you're in CA too, right and a body tech? I need to get by '73 done with some nice body and paint. Any recommendations for SoCal and the Inland area?

The guys who sell the mats do restoration too, and pretty nice by the sound of things, but too far away for me to seriously consider.

Again, sorry for the late reply. I've entered my car in the Palo Alto Concours D' Elegance and working by tail off to get it ready. I'm in No. Cal.

Now, to answer your question;
A body tech?, I am not. However, on many occasions I have stayed at a Holiday Inn Express(couldn't resist).
To find the right body-shop, simply treat it as if your looking for a new house or a college for your child.

Thank you wise-guy, and Father&Son... CC, I thought it said Body Tech in your profile. I'm figuring (praying) 10-12k will cover it...

Which car are you putting in the show? Are there muscle cars? I thought it was mainly Ferraris, imported sports cars, and vintage autos.

Every year they have a theme car to promote the show. This year it is Ferrari and Cord. My T/A is in P4 class. There is a class for almost every car made. There still is an application process in which I had to send pics and details of the car. They notify you by mail if they want you.....or not.
I'm doing this for fun. I have no illusions about how well I'll do. For me, it's all about meeting new people and introducing my son to the theatrics, I mean sport.

Nice looking car. There are very few 2nd gen Fbodies at any of the shows around here. I usually see up to 1 car. Good luck.
