Restorers in the Rocky Mountain Region
Hi all,
My '67 L79 is in need of a refresh. The fuel economy is very poor and my cylinder leakdown testing indicates that the rings are bad. The 4-speed is also in need of a rebuild. The paint has some sort of bubbling defect predominantly on the rear quarters, so a re-spray might also be in order. It's a fully numbers-matching car, so I want to get it done right, even if it means shipping the car somewhere. Are there any full-service shops in the Rockies that anyone can recommend? If not, where would you suggest? My number 1 priority is the trustworthiness of the shop and the quality of the work. If I have to ship it out of the region to get that, so be it, but hoping there's someone closer to home if possible. Sadly, Lars informed me that he's no longer doing engines himself, or he would have been my first port of call. Thanks in advance for your advice/suggestions.
