Default C3 Question

My neighboor just bought a 75 and asked me if I knew anyplace that would "completely redo" it. Both engine/mechanical work, plus paint and interior.

I'm not sure he fully understands the concept of redo'ing a car, since he asked my opinion on how much it would cost using the finest parts and craftsmen........his jaw dropped.

What he would like is another engine, rear, complete upolstery upgrade and a "pimped" out stereo. My guess is that there isn't a one-stop-shop, but that several more specialized companies would get their hands in it.

I pointed him towards Corvette Paramedics and Autobuffs. Any other shops in the area he should check out?

Thanks.

I send a lot of people over to Corvette Paramedics.. Since they dont so really any new vettes and we dont do anything older than 97 it works.

I am sure George would be happy to take care of him. He can make room in his garage next to his C3.
