Default HELP!!! What shop in Tampa is the best with Fiberglass????

My friend just had a spinner come off his 63 vette, it was then followed by the wheel itself. Bottom line it took a chunk out of the body and needs to be repaired. He is not wanting a shitty repair. It is a VERY nice vette and it needs to be repaired right. It does have full coverage on it but he may pay cash depending on the price.

What do you guys think a ballpark price is for the repair? Here is a pic, I will put up better ones later.

Yeah I told him they scarred me when he bought them, but he liked the look. They had lock pins on them but somehow it sheared the pin I guess..

wheres your shop? What do you think ballpark price would be. He is trying to decide whether or not to file an insurance claim. He has money but thats why you pay for insurance. Do you have any before and after pics of any glass work youve done?
