    Paint and body shops in or near Michigan (Midwest)

    Does anyone have any recommendations for paint and body shops in or near Michigan? (near is a loose term, can be as far as 12 hours )

    I contacted Whitby Motorcars earlier, and while I have full confidence in their work but an 18-month lead-time is too much for me, (I'm not in a terrible rush, but 8 months or less would be nice) and 12-14k is a bit more than I want to spend.

    I've already got the seams knocked down and filled, but I'm looking to get the panels trimmed and the latches and windows installed by the shop as well.

    Any recommendations of shops with FFR experience would be much appreciated!

    Thanks in advance,
    -David

    Yup. Emmitt beat me to it. My last two Roadsters were painted there, and have talked to them already about my Coupe. Top notch. You just have to be in line behind me.

    Another shop I know about is New Reflections in Howell. http://newreflectionsinc.com/. Small shop and doesn't look fancy, but he does nice work and relatively reasonable. He's done a bunch of FFR's and knows them well. Painted my first build.

    I've heard a lot about the two Jeffs, but never figured out who the second was. Fill me in?

    Jeff Kleiner is in Bloomington, Indiana. The other is Jeff Miller in Temecula, California. Both are active here on the forum.
