The May issue of Corvette Fever has a list of the Top 100 Corvette repair shops in the US. This might be good to have with you on a long trip, such as C3 gathering, just in case. You never know!

Posted outside my garage is a sign thats "Busted Knuckle Garage...Repair and Despair Under One Roof. It pretty much sums it up.

Inside my garage is a sign that says "Guys...no shirt no service. Women...no shirt no charge! No ladies have taken me up on it yet!

Vette(s): 1975 C3 Red, T-Tops, Black Interior. All I need is time and money! Getting there!
The only reason I'm not on the list is I don't have a garage.  Perhaps the 100 best driveways?

My vette shop is on that list - Tony's Corvette Shop in Gaithersburg, MD. Just wish I had started there first p would have saved me beaucoup bucks. The guy is an NCRS Master Judge - which is great for restoring my '70 LT-1. He's also the most ethical (read: honest) "repair shop" person I've ever run across. I'd say at least 99% of the sops on this list are that way.

Ken, if there is ever a "100 best driveways" list. I'm definitely going to recommend you. I give you a lot of credit for what you accomplish in you driveway.

 I do hope someday you get your garage built.
