I'm looking for a body shop that knows what they are doing when it comes to repairing and prepping SMC (sheet-molded compound).
It's basically what corvettes have been made of since 1973, and the same stuff used on the 4th gens doors, SS hoods, and hatches.
Its not exactly fiberglass and cannot be repaired using the same materials and methods.
I have two body parts that I had planned on doing the work on myself but I have no time. One part requires some structural repair, the other just stripped minor repairs, and then prepped in epoxy primer.
What are some recommended shops that I can trust to do the work?
I'd prefer a place in north jersey, but being that its specific, specialized work, I know I may have to drive a bit.
