Hello

I live in the Boston area and have a '74 TR6. It needs a paint job - can anyone suggest a shop that is local that does this kind of work?
Thank you!!

You will have to call around....a good many of today's body shops will not touch it, they only want collision work on modern cars. This falls under restoration...as you never know what you will find under the paint. I spoke to an owner of a well respected and larger body shop that told me he sent his own 69 Camaro to a resto shop because he did not want to tie up his own guys????? If you are looking for something for driver quality a lot of people say go to a local Maaco shop...the more work you can do on your own the less expensive it will be....if not be prepared for $5,000 ++++
