[Scott C.]

Hi all

I live in N.E. Ohio... I'm looking to get my 58 corvette restored.I was wondering if anyone could recommend who I could contact for the restoration.

Thanks

Scott, if you can't find someone close by, try these guys. C.A.R.S., they're excellent and Jim knows what he is doing. In some cases, they will pick up and deliver your car (even from Belews Creek).

Before you get a quote from anybody, you have to decide what kind of restoration you want, NCRS?, Concours?, driver? The price varies greatly.

Re: 1958 Restoration

I'd suggest you contact the "Lake Erie Chapter", as they a located in NE Ohio, and there several shops in that area. Might have some good recommendations. They have a meet coming up shortly, might be a great place to make some contacts.

Another suggestion is if it runs and is in one piece, take it to a local Chapter Meet to have it Flight Judged. That is the cheapest and most comprehensive inspection you can get. Good luck, Don H.
