good mechanic in eastern long island?
tried posting this a while back, didn't really get anywhere, so posting in here.
Need some work done on my '67 and my '00 'vettes. looking for someone reputable out in Suffolk/eastern long island. Any recommendations? I'm aware of vette doctors.

I'd say basic stuff, right now I need to replace a lug nut on one of the wheels, re run some break lines, and put in a new fuel line (on the '67). I know this is basic stuff, but I'd prefer to bring it to someone who is used to working on mid years. Same type of stuff on my '00. maybe a supercharger odwn the road :-)

Of coarse for painting as I stated he's a restorer. Also if you needed a painter the guy who just painted mine is in Deer Park. That guy as well was great. But when it comes to the fuel and brake lines Vette Dreams he eats and craps older vettes.

Forgot to say make sure the East Meadow shop has knowledge on painting real fiberglass. Both shops I recommend to you do. I would say there is not to many guys no more then vette dreams on painting and restoring vettes considering at any given time there is a dozen in his shop mainly C1 And C2's. The Deer Park shop is as well their a old school style shop.

Yeah, I've seen the work the guy in east meadow does -- he's done a ton of midyears, really knows his stuff. He's great, but pricey, and doesn't have availability until the end of the summer.
I'm checking out a place in Hicksville tomorrow morning, may as well add vette dreams to the list.
