I don't know of a shop specifically but there are definitely some body shops strewn around that do that kind of work.
If you're looking for a location that might have lots of old hot rods/customs/lead sleds etc there's the Galloping Hill Cruisers that meet every Monday evening during the summer months at the hot dog stand/Galloping Hill Catering parking lot in Union NJ (Five Points section) and it's less than 45 minutes north of Middlesex (less than a mile off of exit 138 on the Garden State Parkway).
And I'm sure someone there can definitely point you towards a '30s/'40s chop/channel type specialty shop.

Like most local cruise nights I don't think you have to pay to enter your car there but you do have to go up to a registration table and fill out some info and get a piece of paper with a car number and your name on it to put in your windshield for judging etc. There is a chance though they might be asking for a small donation for a charity, at least that's the impression I'm getting from their website.
I've been to it many times but never actually entered any of my cars.
I actually may've even seen you there once a few months back (before the cruise nights started back up), I pulled through in my black Z28 and saw a blue one there and two guys at an outside table checking me out as I drove through.

That is definitely me, I just passed through there twice yesterday evening actually to watch my friend's kid play softball at one of the fields behind Union High and/or over at Biertuempfel Park. I also cut through there some nights to get to that Sunoco station on Vauxhall Road or on my way to/from Magic Fountain in Union Center and that general area.
I'd just remembered that I have seen a blue Z28 parked in there a couple of times.Sometimes you might see a yellow Corvette C6 pulling through, that's me as well.
There is another guy with a black SS (he had a silver Z28 convertible prior to that) that used to park there as well, I sometimes see him at the Springfield Route 22 Dunkin' Donuts too.

There goes Kenny being all silly again.
LOL 
I have a stock muffler but also have a QTP electric cut out so sometimes it's open (kind of loud) when I drive by but usually it's closed and pretty quiet.
I don't pull through there lookin' for a race or anything of course but I've always been a big fan of the whole cruise/parking lot scene even though I'm now MUCH older than most of the guys that still do it these days LOL.
I'll pull over and say "hi"
next time I see ya there.

next time I see ya there. Sometimes you drive by and its quiet and other times you sound exactly like my Z28 (no cutouts, but the bolt ons and Corsa make quite a bit of noise)
And now i can be like i know that guy, he has a yellow 06 vette too
and ill be sure to wave when i see you pass by again
Also sorry for hijacking this thread RedZ88

Lol no worries.. I'm still looking for a spot... I wonder if any of the site vendors have a spot... it's essentially free marketing on their part... I would provide them with photos of their cars.. or at least their shop.
