They look like they are reputable according to Yelp??? They should be able to handle the trans work. As far as body work I would only go to a shop that specializes in fiberglass only. Two that come to mind are The Fiberglass Body in Hawthorne, CA and JD Corvette. There are others in LA area. The Fiberglass Body did my T-top to Convertible conversion. It came out fantastic.

We have good reviews on yelp, google, ls1tech and we are a corvette forum sponsor as well!!!
We mainly work on C5 and C6 corvettes these days. We have definitely done our fair share of wrenching on C2 & C3's though

Yep, saw their reviews, not bad so far. probably give them a try on the 69
mechanical stuff. Bad experience with J&D though, and read bad reviews on The Fiberglass Body. glad you had a good experience with them though. Thanks for the feedback. it helps!
