Looking for a Trusty Shop for Mechanical and Paint work locally to Brick NJ 1966 Con

[Darrin G.]

I recently purchased a Semi-Restored 1966 Corvette Sting Ray Convertible at Mecum. The car is almost fully restored but still needs some work and im looking for a Shop Locally or close that is trusted to do what i need ASAP. I have a guy i have been using who lives in Staten Island but would love to find someone locally so i can start to enjoy the car before the warmer weather. Not Looking to Wait Months.

Mechanical
- Need Power Steering
- Need Power Brakes
- Need Specialize Corvette Valve Covers Installed.
- Need Front headlights checked out, one goes up faster then the other.
- Need the Car checked out for safety and verified all is good.
- Engine Compartment is Restored just needs a Wash as Some Oil dirt.

Paint & Body Work (Car and Body were Restored but they didnt do things i wanted)
- Need Stinger Painted on hood
- Needs the Convertable Compartment Cleaned painted and Restored with all new Rubber around top, Top is new they just didnt do the Metal and Rubber cleanly.

He has been recently not answering the phone so im no sure if he is still around. I spoke to him a few weeks ago, but no longer answering so i would not recommend him, as he is not a shop he works out of his house.

Not Looking to Wait Months.

This part is the challenge.
Anyone "good" is likely booking months ahead. Just be aware of that. Most restorers are 1.5-3 years out.

How much difference is there? They are not synced in any way, just two separate electro-mechanical motors rotating each bucket. There is nothing other than proper greasing and ensuring non-binding installations of the motors and buckets that can be done.
