Any shiops local familiar with FBodies? Have a steering issue, need someone to look at my AC, and probably some other small issues too. Thanks in advance for any help

Don't know if you still need help, I'm still in touch with the lead mechanic from next level. I have him do all my stuff. He's built these cars from the ground up.

Try Chris @ Furcheto Motorsports in Winter Park. Small shop though. He replaced my steering rack and overhauled my AC system a few months ago.

I'd also be interested in additional local shops that are well versed in F-bodies. I used to have a number for Ty (who used to work at Next Level years ago) but not sure what he's doing these days.

That's the mechanic I was talking about in the post above. I still have his number and just spoke with him on New Years.

What type of work does he do on Fbodies? Complete turbo kit installs with minor fabbing like standing up radiators and running new A/C lines....????

How is he on 4L80E swaps into Fbodies and measuring and ordering a new custom driveshaft.......?
