Anyone know of a shop that does restorations/mods on old muscle cars?

What he said...

Sorry Brian, I didn't know you were into resto projects too.

Both shops are very capable.

Thank you guys. Its a '69 firebird. Was a drag car and would like to make a Pro street style. Front fenders and hood are just thrown on and nothing lines up. Little rust in the rear fenders, etc. Looking for nice resto and possibly 4 link. Something nice to drive. My dad bought it from mustang andy a few years back.

That suspension setup looks pretty descent. Unless you are planning some fairly serious track use, I wouldn't change it. I run a similar setup on my 67 Camaro that allows me to go mid 1.3s in the 60'. Just a matter of tuning it. Put the money you save from doing a 4-link and buy some nice (Varishock) double adjustable dampners for the front and rear.

No problem Marty. I never got the facebook message. No biggy though. Finally got a trailer from Howard and Eddy had an opening.

Sorry about that man! I sent the message using my Blackberry and must not have done it right. LOL
