Hmmm...off the top of my head:
The Car Shop, in Moline. Not sure if they do restos and stuff but they would know who to go to around here.
Yogi's, Monticello, IA. They do good work and could handle the resto and trans swap.
And there's always
Lakeside Rods & Rides and
FastLane, but those are $$$ and probably a waiting list.
Otherwise, Chicagoland area isn't that far away...
Schwartz and
Speed Inc.
