Jones autowerkes in San Antonio would be your best bet Bill, Bob and Cathy have been doing restorations for 35 years. Their tel is 210 657 1111. They have a fabulous old school body man who does great lead work. They are a full shop not just bodywork and few people know the early cars like them.

Jack's Auto Body in Carrollton did a great job on Ruby 5 years ago.

It would help to know what level of resto/body work you are looking for. There are a number of good shops in the area and depending on need and budget I might direct you to different folks.

Do you need paint and minor body work?

Serious crash damage?

Rust repair and metal work?

Is this a high end restoration or a refresh?

How soon do you need it done? Some shops have waiting lists.

Stuarts if looking on the high end side. Primarily Ferrari's and Lambos there when I had my work done. Matched my Guards red perfectly. Ed's paint looks hard to match so it would appear Jacks is good too.
