I second Larson Race Cars in Oak Grove, MO. His number is 816-690-7555. He has done work more than once on my car and my dad's. In fact, we are on our way tomorrow to pick my car up after having some work done. He does extremely good work and Larry Henderson (drives a stick Nova and Camaro in Stock) also works for him.

Not all, but often a chassis builder, painter, or engine builder is forced to "tell you what you want to hear" because if he were completely honest, everybody would say "thank you" and walk out the door never to be seen again.
And often times, if the customer did bring the job in the door, he gets frustrated and takes his work elsewhere because "the pasture is greener on the other side of the mountain." And then that job also ends up waiting on the back burner and in the end, it may have been best to stay at position #1. Now we all now this is not good but I've learned to understand that few, very few, left-brain creative & very talented constructors are also right-brain solid business men who know how to schedule their time, energy and money on the same level as their craftsmanship in the shop deserve. Face it, most of us can't afford the shops that are right & left brain operations. I was going to pay a visit to my race car today as it's in chassis / engine prison. So I called before I made the 75 mile one-way trip. Glad I did. The owner is busy this week helping his son move from his home. Now I won't get into that soap opera, but the bottom line is work for me and everybody else got put back another week because of non-work issues. Excuses get really old but I know this guy is a genius and it's going to be worth the wait. And I can't say I've had a burning desire to be on the track lately so I'm fine with it all. And it looks like my transition from Stock to SuperStock was well timed...!

Rob - check out Burkhart Chassis in Decatur, IL. He had my 69 Camaro in and out in 1 week. I had all of the interior out of the car and I put it all back in myself. Chrome Moly, very quality work. Chuck Burkhart is the owner.....www.burkhartchassis.com 217.855.8660
