Hello all, my name is Steve Reed and I live just north of Baltimore MD. I purchased my fathers 65 GS back in 1988 and drove it everyday up until 1990 when I moved to Indianapolis. My father purchased the car new in 1965 and I literally grew up in this car. there is still a scratch on the glove-box where I bumped it with my fishing pole whenI was six years old. Boy did I hear about that when my father found it a week later :-(. I have kept the car in my garage for 20 years and drove it to a barn 5 years ago where I am storing it currently. I am wanting to start the long process of restoring the car and would like to find a good machine shop to rebuild the 401 nail head. I actually took a tour of Automotive Machine & Performance in Philpot, KY several year back but I was told they are out of business now. Can anyone recommend a shop in the Midwest or east coast who understands nail heads that might be interested in rebuilding my engine? Thank you very much. Cheers! Steve R. Forest Hill MD
One of the best nailhead guys in the country is a member here. I think his shop is in Ct. I think he built the engine for the quickest nail head door slammer.
