I just need a few spots blended in. I have called a few body shops as soon as I say racecar they say we are booked for months. Anyone know of someone that does decent-doesn't have to be show quality work in the mid Atlantic area ? They could do it at home probably really not a big job. I don't have equipment or the talent and my paint/body guy moved away a few years ago. If anyone know someone in the De, south Jersey, Md area let me know please PM me. The car is basically done and I would like to get these spots repaired before I start racing it.

Id ask around at a car show, cruise night personally "I am not ashamed to confess I am ignorant of what I do not know." "It's never wrong to do the right thing"

He's a racer and does a lot of race cars for D1 guys and restoration work. First class. Bucky and Travis could do it, but they're so busy with big jobs, I don't know what kind of time frame you would be looking at. If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.
