He's an independent guy based in Ocala, FL - Jeff Gaudin (954.245.5600)

He's done 5 cars for me over the last 10 or so years. While I don't think it's appropriate to turn this into an advertisement, he did solve problems that other Firebirds owners would have...

- he made brackets that straighten the fiberglass hoods to take the bow out of it; that bow created gaps on both sides of the hood line that bothered me every time i looked at it;
- he made fiberglass inner fenders that weight 3.5 lbs a piece (vs 21 lbs for stock); not for the weight savings; did it to create clearance for larger tires - mine are 295/30/19 fitted on the front;
- he made brackets for the lower shock mounting points with the rear leaf spring set up that created space to install lowering blocks that permitted lowering of more than 1-2"s while also permitting a slightly wider tire.
