Default Looking For A Shop

I'm going to start building a 79 Malibu. Was wondering if anyone knew of any good shops that you could recommend to do suspension and ls engine and t56 conversion. I know what i want done just don't have the skills to get me there. thanks for any help you can give. I'm in southern california.

There's a whole ****load of shops that would be more than willing to do your deal but finding one that "can" do it is another story. I've had some work done at 401k Hotrod Shop in Anaheim that was very satisfactory. You might want to check them out. They're on La Palma.

What kind of time frame are you working on? We have a couple cars coming out of paint in the next couple days but we could book an appointment and get things rolling. Feel free to give us a call.

I was planning on using the stock frame, did not know i had many options with this body. thought i was limited to bolt ons for the suspension. Will contact you to talk about other options.
