South Haven, eh? I'm there every 4th of July. Can't help you with the name of a shop though. And I don't think we have too many members over there. Have you checked out the Kalamazoo Corvette club at all? They have a pretty good sized group.

Yup, we live in South Haven and work in Kalamazoo. Need to get involved with the local vette clubs. There is Corvette Coventry out of South Haven also. We just purchased a 69 (see signature) and I've had a 79 for 10 years now, that I want to restore. The 69 is in great condition with nice street paint. So, we'll be having fun with that while I tackle the 79 on my own except for the rust repair and paint.

Mann's Corvette Shop in Mishawaka, IN does good work and wouldn't be too far away.

Excellent! Glad you found the forum. It'll help with all of those nagging problems that crop up.
