Anybody know good mechanics who work on these old Corvettes in the West suburbs of Chicago? I need some good shop to support my owner ship of a 66 Sting Ray.

They are not particularly close to you but they are very, very good. Mickey's Car Barn in Crown Point Indiana not cheap but honest and fair. Good Luck.

Highly recommend Tom Ricotta of Ricotta's Automotive in Rockford, IL. Phone is 815-282-6700.
Rockford, as you know, is a little further west of West Chicago, but worth the extra effort.
