body shop in south Florida?

I am based in Palm Beach and in need of a good body shop. I need to have a little patch work done (the third leg of the rollbar is SEVERAL inches from the edge of the hole) and get a complete respray.

I am looking for something between the two extremes:

1) a job that is nice from far BUT far from nice

AND

2) a bill that would make Donald Trump wince!

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Paul

His partner use to build Cobra Replicas and the guy that still runs the Cobra Shop painted. The Cobra builder moved back to Pa. but the paint shop is still open. I only talked with the owner and never had any other experiance other than I have seen some Cobra Shop Cobras from other members in our club and they are nicely painted. Give him a call.

Paul.
This may be too little too late.
Classic Illusions in Palm City (near Stuart)
772-288-3386
Frank Gifford is the owner. I've seen 3 cobras that they have done, beautiful and fairly reasonably priced. Where in Palm Beach are you, several FFRs and Backdrafts in the north end of PBC.
Hope this helps,
Richard

Richard,

Thanks for the input. You aren't too late at all!

I only collected the car in the last week. I am in Palm Beach Gardens only about 5 minutes from Juno Beach Pier!

Nice to know there are some other Cobras in the vicinity
