I have been searching for a few months for a good , reputable paint shop to paint my restoration 71 targa after firing my body shop for putting my car aside and not working on it very much. I have been in contact with some of the worlds best in the restoration business through my many automotive contacts from being a service director for many years . One of my contacts directed me to a fellow car nut at Barrett Jackson. During our first conversation after a few email volleys he stated "how lucky I must feel being that close to Chad". I was like "Chad??? What do you mean?" He said " Chad Garrison". I said "who". Then he went on to tell me of what he described as one of the best automotive restorers he has seen in his 35+ years in the business. I was eager as hell to find out who this dude was. He made a few phone calls and then got hold of ""Chad" and let em talk to him to find out where he was located. I was blown away to find out that for 8 years I have been driving 150 feet from his shop door 2 times a day and never knew it!! Turns out this guy has been restoring classics right under my nose and I never knew. He don't advertise , he has no sign, and he has a 2 year back log. I made and appointment and went by his shop to see it and to talk to him about my project. I was so blown away by the unbelievable work he had done . I looked at his "book" and also a few of the cars in his shop and had instant wood
. This is my guy!! Oh, he also said he will squeeze me in a little ahead of the back log ... I'm so phsyced!!!
This guy does several cars a year for the SEMA show! Just incredible work .
