Quality body & paint work in the Detroit area?

[Dale T.]

My 64 roadster - white with red guts - has had just about everything restored under the body (Werner Meier Masterworks does great work!). The body is in decent shape but the panel seams are out of alignment, right fender should be replaced, engine compartment is tired, etc, so now it's time to do the body/paint. Can anyone recommend someone in the Southeast Michigan area who does quality work at a fair price for my "driver"?
Werner does great work but I just can't justify his cost for a vehicle that I want to drive 1000 miles each summer.
Thanks,
Dale

Dale -

Try Jim Hitchcock in Lapeer, (810) 667-3319; he paints my cars. A perfectionist, reasonably priced, and meets the schedule he commits to.

Thanks John, I'll ping Jim this week as Lapeer is about 20 minutes from my home.
Also, congratulations on your induction to the National Corvette Hall of Fame... much deserved!

Dale, I will second John Hinckley's recommendation. Jim did my '57 two years back, all black, not easy to do. It is excellent!
