[Charles P.]

Hi, I live in nothern IL and am looking for a very high-quality shop to do a NCRS quality frame-off on a C2 car. I would appreciate any recommendations / ideas. Thanks in advance.

Mickey's Car Barn in Crown Point, Indiana, ads in the Driveline.

TiN Restorations in Plano, IL. 614-595-5520
Chris Sherman is also the Judging Chair for the Illinois Chapter.
He is restoring a '54 for me at this time and his work is exemplary.

How far are you willing to travel?

and how soon do you want it started?

Most restoration shops have a 2 year waiting list.

And, I'm estimating here based on my own experience, be prepared to pay probably at least 150-200k or more, depending on how complete and original the car is, what kind of shape it's in, and what your ultimate goals are. If you're talking a very special car, like an L88 or something, figure on it costing 2-3X more than my estimate.

Charles,

You may want to specify what year C2 you are getting restored. Different shops have their specialty. Also this will allow owners who have had the same year car restored to respond with their experiences.

Dick at D&A Corvettes in Gillespie, Illinois and Tim in O'Fallon, Illinois did a 1964 Z06 optioned tanker for me and did a great job.
