    Body Shop

    I need to respray two black cars, a 60 B Roadster and a 73 E/RS - Neither has rust or needs significant bodywork; both are a little tired and were last painted about ten to fifteen years ago. It is probably time to replace the top on the Roadster. Both are low mileage, have all their original parts (except bumpers + deckllid on E/RS) and have never been hit. Can anyone recommend a great shop in the Northeast. I am looking for the next tier down from Jim Newton (Automobile Associates of Canton). Both cars are driven more than shown. Extensive Porsche experience is critical as both cars are almost entirely original and I don't want to be the owner who screws them up.

    paint

    Steven just saw your post....


    I was going to say Jim but........



    you can call Dan Jacobs at Hairy Dog Garage......in CT also....Bethel? Oxford?... very nice guy and very knowledgable......if he does not have paint shop( cant remember) he will know who is good but a bit cheaper than Jim... lemme know wha happens


    oh...also call Cheech at Rennwerke..Yonkers NY....he knows 1 or 2 local(Westchester) guys that are good but not concours like Jim......



    Cheech can be a bit abrasive but just get to the point and show a strong personaility and he'll be just fine....he's a big moody pussycat......mentioning Joel Kaplan(me) and Gary Turco w/ the black- silver track car wont hurt......
