Default Seriously Searching for a Body/Paint Shop

I am looking for a shop to paint my 69 RS Camaro. The car has had all
the necessary sheet metal work and has all glass,,chrome, bumpers
and misc trim removed.The car would need minor body preparation,
priming and final painting. I am looking for a basic "nice paint job" not
a show stopper. I live in Southern New Jersey and would like to stay
within 100 miles of my house. My budget would be topped out at
$6000 so that would probably eliminate me from some shops. Being an
Ex- stock eliminator racer I know most of you guys have a network of
people and services to keep your Race car competitive and at the track.
So I am asking for a couple of names that might fill the bill. Thanks for reading. ed

Jim, Thanks I live near Cape May, I guess that could be considered
Southern south Jersey. I know where Neptune NJ is. I am looking for a smallish type shop that dosent have a three ring circuis going on.
I dont have a deadline on completion,if the guy wanted to do the car
in a couple of phases that would be fine. ed

Good luck in your search. Be sure you check references from many former customers. And never tell a body shop you're not in a hurry! I know there are lot's of good shops out there , but there are many more that are not.
