A special thank you to Jamie Cooper. Jamie had his first experience in a body shop in 1988 as a freshman in high school. Gary Goss, owner of Goss Automotive and a member of a United Methodist Church where Jamie’s father was a pastor, hired Jamie to keep the shop clean and lend a hand where needed. A year later, Jamie purchased his first car, and with the help and supervision of Gary and fellow-employee Barry Smith, the learning of the trade began. After high school, Jamie attended Vale Technical Institution, graduating first in his class and receiving the directors award for maintaining a 3.5 GPA or higher. After working in three different body shops for the next 20 years, his dream of being a shop owner came true in 2014, when he and his partner Joe Griffith opened Super Car Restoration.
