Default Corvette Shop near Peoria IL ?

I'm looking for a shop that either specializes in C2s or has some significant experience with C2s near Peoria, IL.

I'm running out of time and need some help with installation of a full set of wiring harnesses.

Any recommendations ?

DS


I'm also looking for a body / paint shop to do some repairs on my fiberglass (couple very tricky spots) also near Peoria.

I would assume there has to be several here in Mid-IL, but have been too busy working on the car to get out and get involved to know.

Hoping someone here can direct me.

I'm not too far from you.I don't specialize in C2s,but have done a couple,and alot of C3s/4s.I have extensive fiberglass skills from many years in the boating industry,and going on 10 years of specializing in Corvettes.
I don't know his name,but there is a local collector here that uses some Corvette guy by Peoria.I don't know who it is,but the guy is a old timer,and suppose to be excellant.
Also,try the regional forums,and some guys will help you over there.
Good luck,and really liking the car in your avator.
Howard....THANK YOU!

Ok, so any thoughts on getting connected to the local collector or the guy he uses near Peoria ?

I would be grateful for that connection / referral.

Also,
Do you have a formal shop ?

Examples of past work ?

I can send you some pictures of what I think I need for fiberglass work if you PM me your email address and are interested in taking on that work ?
