Default Recommendations for Body and Paint Work

Hello Everyone,

Looking to get recommendations for body shops to prep and paint the cobra in the NH, MA, CT area. I would prefer a shop that has done fiberglass cobra bodies in the past.

Let me know who you would recommend and I'll see if I can finally get this thing looking like a real car.

Mike

Mike, Ct Custom Car in Enfield Ct has done a lot of cobras of all makes and they are one of ERA's preferred vendors. I have had two cars done there and they did an incredible job on both of them, one white, one black. Their bodywork is first rate, and they will work with you on any questions or special things you might want done. Walt Sr., Walt Jr. and Dianne are very genuine and the nicest folks around. I highly recommend them.

Good luck, Murray

Make sure you call Ron Randall-ERA owner and superb painter. In North Haven CT.
He's 'Metal-morphous' on here.

My car was painted "over your way" by Gordon Vanderpool from New England Kustom and Collision in Hillsboro. Don't have number, you will have to look it up. Tell Gordon I said to call. Hope this helps. I called him on a Friday, the next morning at 09:00, there was a knock on my door. He showed up for morning coffee with a scrap book containing a history of the stock and custom cars he did.
