Yeah, George is a great guy. He also stands behind his work. If you are not happy, he will fix it, no problem.

Have a look at Harrison Cobra site gallery. http://www.cobrakits.com.au/gallery George did all body work & paint on both Steve's & Peter's Cobra's. When I say George, it will also be the guys working for him. The big players in Cobra work are George, Rob & Chris.

George also does work on Corvette's for Corvette Club. We they are fibreglass. I saw him re-skinning a bonnet the other day because any repairs would come back through. That's what you get when your fibreglass gets old enough I suppose.

Curiously did you know that you are getting charged over $1000 extra for stripes. Well I think that's the difference. But when you see the work involved in getting them right, you don't doubt the labour cost. You can't just drop stripes on these cars, you've got to ensure they run through the middle of everything. Big problems occur when you go for twin rollbars, as chassis don't normally line up perfectly on body. You also get choice of having semi-smooth stripes, they rub back stripe edges before putting clear on. Harder to repair later as you can mask up to the edge of raised stripes, but semi-smooth look and feel great. I went with semi-smooth. Daytona has standard stripes.

Also decide whether you want straight stripes or original style as detailed by ERA here. http://www.erareplicas.com/427man/stripes/index.htm
George has details to do both styles.
