Does anybody have any suggestions on good paint shops for C3's in the Phila. area? I may need some re-constructive surgery when the car is stripped so I want someone who is familar with fiberglass and vettes in general.
Also..aside, my car should be Cortez Silver. I saw a few C3's with the Bright Blue interior and the Cortez Silver paint and I was not that impressed. It would increase the value of my car since it is a numbers matching BB 1970 vette, but I also like the Targa Blue (72'). I think the Targa Blue would look better with the Bright Blue interior. What feedback do you have?

The car is currently a Corvette Light Blue from 78/82.

Thanks in advance.

COUNTY CORVETTES IS THE ONLY PLACE IN THE TRI STATE AREA. TRUST ME. Ask for Jim Stuempfle (Stemph ly). Tell him Anthony from Virginia sent ya. The whole shop is nothing BUT Corvettes. Seperate shops for seperate jobs. And before you ask... the only vested interest I have with County Corvettes is that I take all my "impossible" work to them(YES, FROM VA TO PA) and I would like all fellow enthuiasts to have a great experience as well.

I took my vette down there when they first opened their shop. I had someone come out and look at my car and they gave me an estimate of $11,000. I understand my car needs some minor fiberglass work, but holy cow, I could buy a "beater" on Ebay for that much!! I understand their work is second to none but I was looking for a little more reasonable price.

Ouch! that is a lot of $$$.

My wife grew up with Jimmy and I've met him a few times. He's a great guy. I read this post to my wife and she said that when they were growing up Jimmy ate, slept and breathed cars. If you've ever seen his display at Carlisle you would understand. BTW, I've never had any work done by him but if it was something difficult I wouldn't hesitate.

County has my car right now (not for paint tho). I'll let you know what they're like when I pick it up :yesnod:

Mr.Gearhead

Hey Jim, is that Valley Forge Park in your sig? I lived in Newtown Square for 30 yrs.... worked in Wayne. Small World... CC is awesome. Jim S is a really cool guy...

Jim 77

Yes that is Valley Forge! I have more pics of that foggy morning in an old thread...

County Corvettes is great. Their cars are flawless, work is great (and on time), and you pay for it. Good place.
