Going with Jakes Rod Shop for my build
I've been researching for a few months and I have contacted a few other shops. Jake got back to me in no time flat and has been more helpful than I could have ever asked for and he doesn't even have my car yet. I'm excited about the build and I know its in good hands. There will be a project thread up so you all can go along for the ride. I can't wait to get started!
Here's the before

Going to be EFI LSX 454, T56, Jakes full subframe and front/rear suspension and cage. Probably AP racing brakes. Vintage air. I haven't made up my mind on color but will likely keep the Hugger Orange as it is the original color.
Stay Tuned

Great choice!! He did an awesome job on my car. If work wasn't so slow this winter I would of had him put in his sub frame. Looks like he'll do it next winter. Great project!! I'm looking forward to watching this build.
