Hello everyone, My girlfriend inherited a 1968 convertible (W/Hardtop) that we want to get restored. I would like to hear of places you all would recommend. I live in Lakeland, Florida so any where in central Florida would work or ever out of the area if they are great. I am getting ready to install a new Edelbrock intake manifold (polished), Edelbrock endurashine valve covers, Holley Electric Choke 600 cfm Carburetor (Zinc finish). We want a professional to do the major things. We would like to get the body taken off and get a sweet deep metallic paint job. Frame cleaned up as well.....Would also like the engine pulled, cleaned and painted. Im not sure if most shops do just a few things or if they normally do certain things when restoring a car. Someone told us that the painter needs to know what he is doing with the fiberglass and to try to find someone that is an expert with fiberglass painting.... does that make a big difference? We do not know much about a restoration process but we want it to be done right
So any place that you would recommend would be great!
P.S- How much would something like this normally cost?
Thank you so much for your help!

I don't know about the restoration shops, but the 1968 model year has a lot of 1968 specific parts on it, so if you're replacing parts BE SURE that they are specified for the 1968 model year. Enjoy the Vette and keep posting!
