Roy,
Deepest sympathies---I can't imagine that BEEEYOOTIFUL car marred in any way! Lots of body shops have fiberglas specialists, but check a boatyard or (sometimes even better) a boat builder. Most boats which are aimed at the high-end and racing market are faired, sealed and then finished in AWL-GRIP. Look for a boat builder who has someone in charge of finishing DARK-colored hulls. You wouldn't believe the ability of these guys to turn out mirror-shine hulls. Your car's black--it will show any dips or flaws in the paint. That's just a thought. A friend of mine got the hood of his midnight blue
show-horse Corvette crfunched by a tree-limb. Took it back twice to the body-shop. No dice. Looked up a local boat builder in Middlertown R. I. and got a couple of guys who were willing to work on Sundays. Car came out FLAWLESS. New paint feathered into old---couldn't see the difference!
Good Luck!!!
