Roger's Corvette Center
I had the opportunity to swing by Roger's Corvette Center http://www.rogerscorvette.com/ last week and checked out a ZR-1.
I met Roger himself and we was very gracious with his time and knowledge. Needless to say, I felt like I was in "Corvette Heaven"  Roger has 5 beautiful ZR-1s on the floor, including 2 95s, a 94, and 2 91s. Although the cars are fantastic, I have to say the delamination on all 5 models was quite saddening. It really detracted from the cars... I had only seen a few cars with very minor delam and my 91 has none. It was quite eye-opening. Anyway, I'd encourage anyone to drop by Roger's shop if you're in the Orlando area! John

Re: Roger's Corvette Center
I ahve dealt quite a bit w/ Roger back in the 90s. His former bodyshop manager, Tim Burke, opened his own shop behind Roger's and worked on all my cars, including 91Z, back in the 90s.
Last year when I was out that way I stopped at both to say hi. By the way, Tim is the best body and paint man I have ever dealt with. |

Been to Roger's many times for shows etc. Tim Burke is a great stand up guy and I agree he does the best body work. If I ever needed paintwork and bodywork, I would use him. |

Re: Roger's Corvette Center
I have only had one experience with Roger. This was several years ago. He called me about a 53 that I was selling. He tried the old used car salesman routine. He tried to make me feel like I needed to give it away.
I promptly hung up on him.
