Ken,
You might check with the guys at Vintage Air in San
Antonio. Lot of serious cars around there and I am sure they will know a
good team of wrench and stitch people. There are also some good
shops in Austin. Jimmie Vaughn ( Stevie Ray's brother) has had
some very nice customs made in that area.
My 68 that I picked up after I lost my 55 in a
divorce this year got its new 468 Gen VI put in and is finally on the
road - it really hates speed limits but we are trying to cope .
The motor was built as a blower motor for a drag
boat but the owner died and the motor sat unfinished. Never fired. We
pulled the blower, reworked the seriously ported heads for a little higher
compression, recammed it with a Comp riller and here we
go. Tightened up a 4L60 ( yeah, we're waiting to see how
long that will last).
Now for re-paint, little time in the seat and then
maybe look for a trade ( sorry but my heart's still with the Tri-Fives or 59-62
Impala. )
Saw a '70 S/S with 17" wheels this weekend at
the KKOA meeting in Denison Texas - love those lead sleds. 15's
look very cool but for the time being and for the retro look I
think I'll stay with the new 15" Crager SS's that were on it when I got it
earlier this year.
Best regards to all, see ya on the
streets
