Default Chicago Modifications

Has anyone had any success with a specialty shop in the Chicago area (pref. south or south suburbs)? I just picked up a 87 that I need to get some work on! (Feeling fairly 'inadiquate' with nothing at the bottom of my posts! :nopity

Thanks!

Brian

what are you looking to have done?
I know Vettewrench is where a lot of people go. I have not taken my car to him personally, since I do all my own work, but I here he does excellent work
