Default Restoration shop out west recommendation?

I have just purchased a Type 2 and am interested in having partial restoration work done. I would appreciate any recommendations for a shop near Utah that does XKE work at a reasonable cost. I'm not looking to create a show car, just one fine enough for me to enjoy owning.

This is my second Type 2. My first brand new car was a 1970 Sable brown with tan interior and top. Chrome wire wheels, radio and tinted glass. Paid $5150 back in 1970.

I have been restoring and judging 1953-1955 Corvettes since 1988 but have always wanted to get back into the E-Type family.

I'm taking my 67 e-type to a place called Sportscar Craftsmen in Arvada (Denver) CO.(303) 422-9272. The owner, Paul Dierschoff, is the most knowledgeable person with regard to British cars that I know of and the work is top notch.

Surprising as there are several well known shops in Southern Cal.

a site where you can follow the restoration of an E-type :

I came across it by accident and found it very interesting.
Sorry for my rather academic English ...
