    Can any one reconmend a shop that do awsome work, im saving to restore my 70 Wildcat Conv. and wanted to do it in stages starting with the chassis then the body ect....I live in NE Indiana and wouldnt have a problem taking the car to the surrounding states, i know paying a shop to restore my car can get $$$$ but this is a gift to myself, im currently serving in Afghanistan in OEF, (Operation Enduring Freedom) and will be home in April I'ved saved up enough to at least get the chassis and drive train completed.the car is complete and all there (not knowing what the cost will be) the last thing i want to do is come home and start restoring my car. I figure if i was home for that year i would spend the money on my cars anyway so if any one can help let me know


    Can't wait I want it NOW!!!! :rant: :3gears:

    JIm, can you recommend any good shops in Chicagoland that do mechanical or otherwise for Buicks? I have a 66 Riviera specifically.

    Thanks

    Jim Weise at www.Trishieldperf.com. Check out the 70 GS stage 1 convertible on here that he just did frame off for a former NFL pro football player.

    I used Al Furnish for painting my Wildcat Coupe-he is in Aurora.

    812- 926-3140

    He also did my friends 70 Charger and it looks great. I recommend him.

    For upholstry my dad ('38 Cadillac V-16) used Mike McHenry in Lawrenceburg (sp?) IN.

    812-537-1508
