Default Looking for SoCal restoration shop suggestions

Hello,
I’m looking for some recommendations on shops that can repair an e-type body (S1 FHC). I’ve finished most of the disassembly and believe I’ve found a shop to strip the paint, but I’m lost on body work.

I had reached out to Monocoque Metalworks, but they were not available (or close). I also heard about Images Auto Body, but found mixed reviews so didn’t reach out yet.

The car is in decent shape for never having been restored, but I’m expecting a competent shop to find plenty of work to make it perfect.

Is there anyone in Orange County CA that is good with British cars?

Thanks,
Daniel

Have you tried Classic Showcase in Oceanside?

I second the vote for Classic Showcase in the San Diego area.
There will be a wait, and it won’t be inexpensive, but it will be done correctly.
