Good fiberglass repair shop in Metro Atlanta?

[HSSS427]

I managed to crunch ERA #414 against one of those concrete wheel stops in a parking lot and now need to get some fiberglass work and painting done to repair it. Here's a pic of the damage

Can anyone recommend a reputable place in the metro Atlanta area that does good fiberglass work and painting?

ERA referred me to Cobra Restorers in Kennesaw, but I understand that repair and paint are really not their forte.

Appreciate any tips and recommendations!
Thanks!

Southern Automotive always uses Jodeco Auto Body Shop for all of our personal cars and definitely with all cobras. This shop does a lot of turn key cars for some of the best cobra manufacturers. Call Bruce @ 770-954-1855,

Scott,
You need to see Danny Scott at Awsome specialist Inc. they are located in Lawrenceville, off Hwy 20 between Lawrenceville and Grayson(905 Grayson Hwy). Danny is an old time racer who does a fantastic job with fiberglass and paint. He has done several Cobras and is used by all the exotic car companys around Atlanta. Has worked for Team Lotus, Panoz, and most recently for the Mazda racing team. Danny was making ALL the replacement panels for them(about 65 or so cars). On a personal note he did my GT40(DRB#5). He thinks outside the box with problems. My central nostril cover (bonet)was to be changed from a pin locking device to Dzuz fasteners. The distance was too great for any of their fasteners. Danny figured out that he had to cut the corners of the body portion of the mount, flip it over and glass it back in while retaining the gutter. Now the Dzuz fasteners fit like a glove. The original nostrils only went down about 4 inches. A gt40 at speed builds up a lot of pressure as air passes through the radiator, and some of the bonnet coveres have popped off the cars. We designed a set of nostrils that reached the floor of the radiator, and they turned out great. I will try to post some of the pics. Hope they turn out.Danny can be reached at 770-682-0191, Fax 770-682-0292. Feel free to give me a call anytime at 770-978-6468. I live in Snellville and you can come look at my car and his handywork as I am only about 1/3 of the way finished building mine. Am in the accumulation of parts stage.
Here is the roughin of the nostrils.



Here is the completed work with the Dzuz fasteners installed.



Here's the paint closeup.



Here's the fastener modification.


Hope this helps
