'69 Camaro - Looking to Restore
I have a 1969 Camaro Convertible that has a few things that need work on.
I'm thinking replacing the engine/transmission if feasable and some other work. I'm looking for someone in the New England area, preferably RI. Anybody have any recommendations? Know anybody? Suggestions? |

Welcome to the site neighbor! Good luck with your restoration. Have you considered doing any of the work yourself? Have you tried Competitive Automotive on W. Shore Rd? I think it's still there on the corner of Oakland Beach Ave. Lots of parts and he must know people who can do the work.

We are on a first name basis. I have bought more stuff than I can imagine. He is a great guy to deal with, by the way. I only do the little stuff like replacing the rugs and things like that. I won't attempt a motor swap as I don't have the tools, knowledge or ability. I would like to find someone local who would like to take on this project, though. |
