I don't know any that specialize in Corvette's, but I do know a place called Autometric's. They are pretty good. There is one in Center Line, off of 10 mile between van **** and hoover. I graduated with the guy who runs the front desk, his name is Luke. Tell him if you talk to him that Dan Scardina recommended you there. I see a lot of vettes there among other higher end cars. Give them a call.

I also do believe there is more than 1 location too.

If Toledo isn't too far you might want to check with American Custom Industries. Check out there web site...

There are several Corvette Clubs located in and around the Detroit area. Check with them for references.

I had my 1975 Corvette fixed by Autometrics in 1975 and they were great then. They specialized in Vets then. It was the one on Gratiot in Roseville Michigan.

You might want to check with Cauley Chevrolet in West Bloomfield. They did a very good job on my car's roof replacement. Last time there, was talking with the owner of a Magnetic Red C5 Vert coming out of the shop, and paint guy doing the work. The work was first rate, properly color matched and block sanded. Never really thought of a dealer as my top body shop choice, but after seeing this, worth checking into.

Try Masterworks on Stephenson Hwy in Madison Heights just off of I-75 and 14 mile Rd. They specialize in Corvette restorations, do fiberglass work and have a paint facility. I don't know if they do new cars. It's mostly C1-C3

Vettestorations at Telegraph and 9 Mile might be another choice

Truthfully I just need a shop that can make the z06 bumper fit the stock c6 fenders without sticking out on the sides. I know it could be done with some good fiberglass work. Thats the only reason I'm looking for a shop that specializes in corvettes.
