Are you looking to keep it stock? Some of the aftermarket bolt on kits are pretty cool.

Just got a 68 Camaro in yesterday to do the suspension and brake upgrades. And of coarse more sense he bought it over the Internet. I am in Ventura county. Bonesfab.com. Global west, hotchkiss, or Cpp or if you want the real good stuff Detroit Speed.

In Southern California. I am looking for the best parts but unsure of whether to do a drop or not. I want a very streetable steerable car. I am looking for a shop to install a kit to upgrade the front end. It has disc brakes already but only in the front. It is not a numbers matching rig, it is a clone RS/SS but it is a good start.

Also looking for a transmission shop that works on the old Muncie 4 speeds. Thanks for all of the help.

MAECO Motorsports in Northridge. They don't have a body shop or paint booth. But they do have a couple Dynos. They don't have a website. ( They let the customers provide the web presence) They build cars. Specializing in vintage road race. My brother used to work there. Still gets called in occasionally ( Like to cage out Curries' GT350 clone track car.) They are it, at the finish line.

Hands down DSE (detroit speed and engineering)
all thier stuff if designed around C6 Corvette parts so you can get replacement parts at any auto parts store,

They have mini tubs for the rear (they are hidden, even from the inside you can't tell they are in there, except for the huge rubber underneath)

They have some amazing stuff, from almost stock to wild.
