there is this shop (i've never been there) on bird ave right off 280. go 280N get off on bird ave make a right and stay in the right lane right past the first light. If you get to san carlos you past it. It is a dark purple building. Either way everytime i go by there they have nothing but camaro's, t/a's, vettes and trucks there. So maybe you wanna check that out. I don't know if it is a private shop or business but worth a check. let me know what happends

My old shop was the one you were talking too on Bird Ave. We are now in a bigger building up here in Fremont if you want to stop on by and chat sometime. WE can basicly take care of anything you need. Feel free to call for more info.
