Anybody have any recommendations for getting the paint and body work done in the Eastern New Mexico/North Texas area? I'm considering as far West as Albuquerque and as far East as Dallas. Should be gokarting in a few weeks, and gel coat driving for the rest of the summer. Hopefully will get the paint and body work done this winter.

Thanks for any recs...

A little further West than Albuquerque, but Jeff Miller in Temecula is an outstanding painter and comes highly recommended by over 200 satisfied customers!

Are you willing to go north at all? Our Roadster body was done by a great shop in Nebraska...

Doug and Mark, I'm still considering line hauling this thing to a reputable shop abroad. No doubt Jeff would do an awesome job, and it sounds like KR is solid too.. I've just got to see if I can manage it logistically (shipping price, or time off work to take it). Either way, I'm stoked that a chassis and spare room full of parts will soon become more than a fixture in the garage!

Thanks for the recs fellas.

Hi Noel, where are you located in NM?

Just trailered mine from PHX to Ken Pike (streetrodpainter.com) in Yuba City, CA (near Sacramento). He has done about 680 of FF cars. Probably the most notable in the U.S. when it comes to body work and paint on these cars. Ran over a truck tire and damaged my foot box on driver side. Body off, repair sheet metal, a little paint and I'll go back and try to pick up a run with the Bay Area Cobra Club later this summer.

Thanks for the tip Mike. I'll check it out. Sorry to hear about the damage. I'm not sure how I would/will handle something like that. Must be frustrating.

Noel, I'm in the Farmington area so no all about the middle of nowhere.
