        Jim, where in the Chicago area are you located? If in northern suburbs I can make a couple of recommendations.

            There is a guy in Libertyville that knows what he doing with the restoration rebuilding of corvette engines. Is that too far?

                    Joe,
                    I sent Jim a private email so that I don't list names of businesses on here and possibly be told that I should'nt. I know that you know some people in the area, do you have some recommendations for Jim.

                      Garry..I have a brother in law that lives in Libertyville that has a major car collection. I thought he might be interested in the guy you are referring to.

                      Personnaly I don't object to recommendations on board..without them most people would not know where to start.

                      Maybe you can e-mail the guys name.

                      Many thanks,

                      Joe
