'66 Vette Shop Recommendation
My father needs a caliper rebuild / install job done on his Vette. I need some recommendations he can call to get the job done. He's owned the car for a loooooooong time [since '69] ' so he is very particular on who he has wrench on it. It is a remedial job, I know, but in respect of his love for this car, I want to find someone with his same passion.

Have you checked on any of the local Corvette forum/club sites?

Sooo.. there are a couple of decent hot-rod shops in the Sterling/Ashburn aera.. though the names escape me. However, understand you're father is particular... but this is a job that a good mechanic and a local service station could handle.. I'm sure there is somebody out that way?

Too bad you are a bit far, a good friend close to bmore is good with these. Make sure the parts are inspected, I've seen a few clogged with debris/rust. ~$40 in seals sometimes means hours in the blast cabinet and maybe new halves if they are too far gone.
