Here's where we want you to post the shops you recommend or don’t recommend in your region. Please post info about where the shop is, who to contact there, and why you would or wouldn’t recommend it.

Think of all the vendors you’ve come to know in your area, Body shops, painters, interior shops, fabrication shops, powder coaters, chrome shops, junk yards that specialize in our type cars etc.

Thanks!

Jensen Camaro
509 West 3rd
Tipton, Iowa 52772
1-563-886-3226
www.jensencamaro.com (http://www.jensencamaro.com)

Owner: John Jensen

John is a midwest rep. for Classic Industries and Goodmark.
He usually has a lot in stock or can get it in about 2 weeks.
The benefit of waiting...no shipping and catalog or lower prices!!!
He usually has a line on at least one first gen Camaro currently for sale and often has one in the shop.
He can recommend good shops for different work also, most buy their parts from him.
He also has used hard to find parts, and even buys parts.
Very helpful and Very Very friendly....my wife quit going with me b/c we stand around a shoot the sh*t for long periods of time!!!

Oh, yeah...not just Camaros....Firebirds, Novas, Chevelles, 67-72 C-10's, basically any part Classic or Goodmark sells.

Owner: Bill Hoke

I have known Bill for 15ys and he has built 2 cars for my wife and I and we are laying plans for a third and the first Pro Touring style. Bill is a wealth of knowledge (he has been associated with professional teams in drag racing, NASCAR, Indy, off shore baots and even F1). Very concerned about giving his customers more than they expect.

I'm opening my custom/restoration shop in Independence Mo. later this month. I'll be doing all fab and bodywork inhouse and have arranged to have all my final prep and paint at another local award winning custom shop. I'll eventually be doing that inhouse also. Stop in and check my work out sometime.

Been a while since something was added here. Here are the answers I got from a recent post of me asking for local shops.

Fast Freddies Rod Shop in Eau Claire, WI
One-Guys Garage in Lakeville, MN
Dicks Hod Rod Shop in Lakeville, MN
Classics Plus in Savage, MN

Lots of places are booked for full builds, but can squeeze smaller jobs in between.
