My car isnt pretty enough to be in a show, but.like to drive it to shows. Im waitin on a new idler arm to throw my new steering together. Then I should be good to go for some shakedown runs. I ended up changing the wheels from the rendering you did for me. Car is finally getting to where I want it to be. Cant wait to get it sorted. What time is the Dupont show and where? I have to work but Ill get out about 2pm. Hopefully I can still make it.

Yep, the Dupont show is an early one. Bummer you have to work so early on a Saturday. Try one of the USF meets instead, or at least check out the tamparacing.com forums (http://www.tamparacing.com/forums/) for other events, meets, and shows. It's pretty active, and they actually have an auto-x/road race section with a good active group in there. There's tons of stuff going on nearly all the time, which is one of the best things about living Florida.

AHAHAHA, Funny! I saw your post about your shop request and sent you a PM. Then switch back to main forum and see the FL peeps thread pop up, scroll down to see HEY JOHN! LOL
The answer (without really trying to promote myself TOO much) is, me! I work out of an automotive machine shop/garage on Congress just north of Atlantic. Do good work and don't charge enough.

Too long a haul from Sarasota. If US19 wasn't so f'ing miserable to drive, then maybe, but as it is, it's over 1.5 hours to get there.

I bet that's true! But I also bet that if I were in LA, I wouldn't drive an hour and half to a Thrusday meet either. Besides, Thursdays are test & tune night at Bradenton Motorsports Park, which is only 25 minutes from my house. Originally Posted by 406 Q-ship

Hey guys,
I'm looking for a reputable paint shop in S FL.
North Dade, Broward, Palm Beach
There are as many collision shops down here as there are Starbucks, so the trade is not geared towards custom paint at all.
Looking for leads, car is ready for ~80 hours of blocking and then BC/CC. I've replaced most metal...both qtrs, both rockers, both door skins...fenders-hood-front end have been stripped to bare metal.
Not looking to send it out of the area.
Thanks for suggestions!!Greg
