Greetings all, I recently moved to the Denver area and look forward to being part of the local Ferrari community. And for my first post on the Rockies list I'm looking for your expert advice! In a stroke of bad luck, the ONLY one my three cars that was damaged on its way here via shipper was my beloved Ferrari, a nearly pristine '85 308QV Euro :-( The damage is fairly minor (they buckled the hood above the strut mount and put a few gouges in the spoiler), but the car's paint is all original and I want to find a place that will repair the damage to a VERY high standard. Has anyone had good (or bad) experience with high-end body shops in the Denver area? Let me know! On a more cheery note, I just LOVE the weather here! We moved from the east, and being able to drive my car on Christmas day with the roof off was a real treat!
Welcome to Colorado Don, we need more F chatters to post !!! Sorry, but I don't know any body shop in Denver but someone might know. LOL I hope that you'll a F.memeber so we could see at events and of course the BBQ at te ranch. Check with Jim Walters our pres.for membership. He might know a body shop too.303/363-1641 Roland F40LM
Don...there is a shop called "The Paint Booth" (or maybe just "Paint Booth") that does a lot of Ferraris - Dinos, etc. I looked at a 348 of Jim Hilton's (he's on this forum) there once and they obviously are very high end. You might find Jim on the forum and get his take. He lives in Denver. Don, what Ferrari(s) have you?
Right now, "just" a 308. I can't see parting with it, even for another F-car. I'd like to get (OK, truth be told, my WIFE would like me to get!) a 550 Maranello. I've attached a pic of the 308. I have a few other non-F cars: '92 NSX (supercharged, very fast), '04 Audi S4 (wife's daily driver) and '04 Touareg V8 (ski car). Hope to meet many of you folks soon.

Hi Don, HuskerNtexas is right "the paint booth" does a lot of high end cars Ferraris; Lambos; Porsche; etc. The did a perfect job an my 348. FOD uses them for painting and detailing. Phone 303 762 7562 Talk to George 5101 E. Evans Ave - Denver 80222 Good luck, Jim Hilton
Thanks for the suggestions so far. I'll check out the person Dave Helms uses as well as the Paint Booth. FYI about the car, the picture was taken by the dealer I bought it from in Naples FL (Naples Motorsports). It is pretty much original and has about 24K very well serviced miles. -- Don
