Default (Crospost) NH / Eastern MA Body Shop Recommendation

Good Morning All,

Looking to have my 1974 corvette painted, body-on. Current state of the car is that it was painted red about 20 years ago (original orange color). The urethane bumpers have been replaced and need to be painted, rear is currently black, front is gray, leaving a tri-color corvette cruiser.

Body condition is overall ok. Small scratch in driver quarter, and door edge crack on forward edge from over extending the opening of the door.

Looking to change color back to original orange.

Any recommendations for shops in the Southern NH or Northeastern MA area.

I drive by this place every night on my way home and they always have interesting stuff in their parking lot.

I have always sent my late model stuff to these guys,not sure if they do vette stuff but I have always trusted them in the past.

2nd Gen restorations. Used to be on the forum here. I have seen a couple of the cars they have done. Very impressive!

I've seen Rons work out of Fitchburg and all the C2 guys that win at the shows are from there. I havent talked to him and I hear its pricey, but its top quality. I would at the very least call and get an estimate. The guy that I would recommend says he doesnt deal with fiberglass any more, is Tommy Murray in Westford. My Uncles and there friends all had vettes when I was young and everyone said he was magic. The story goes that He could walk down a car with his had on its surface and tell you where the body work was done. I can get his info and you can call him. He still has a shop and may just do paint if theres no body work involved....Hes right on 225 and 110 in Westford, MA

These are all great recommendations. I really appreciate. Will be calling through the week.

Rescue Rogers - if you would be willing to provide me the contact info in a PM that would be great!
