Body Shop for Classic Car
 
I have classic sports car, 1990 Alfa Romeo, which I am bringing up the the Lake this summer- and ideally for the long term. Needs minor body work. Looking for a body shop that is a bit more careful and hands on, experience with classic or specialty cars. Recommendations?

I'm not sure if Finn's Garage in Meredith does body work or if it's only a garage, but they've posted here about, and held, classic car meets in the past, so I might start there.

*Looking at their website, they might only buy and sell, but I think they might still be a good start.

Good luck!

I think he only buys and sells cars but he could probably point you in the right direction.

Nice car! I would try Weston in Wolfeboro. I am not sure about classics, but they are highly recommended and often have expensive wheels in their lot

Alton Motorsports is a classic car dealer, they may have a body shop suggestion.

Lily Pond Auto & Marine Restoration in Gilford! The owner is a guy named Paul Staffier... he is an old school guy and has several award winning restorations under his belt.

if you find one, please post because I have a '67 mustang and most body shops won't touch a classic because it's opening up a can of worms and people usually don't want to pay for the extra things that they find.
I've been lucky being in a car club and have only needed minor things that a lot of the members can help with. But I'm dreading the day I need a little more.

Give Paul a call... he knows Mustangs!

This guy is the real deal
 
Valley Collision and Restoration in Albany, NH did a fantastic job on the family ‘63 TR3B. Many we know have used him. Can’t say enough positives. Stefan Bcatie.
