Looking for help in Portland.

[Power]

I just transferred to the West coast for the east coast. My car is being shipped out to Portland on monday of next week. The issue I have is I live 250 miles south of there in Coos Bay. This is the closest I could have my inoperable 67 Nova delivered. I was planning on doing everything on the car my self but might just pay a shop to take the car and have it rewired and few other things to get it started if I can afford it. Just looking for some help with finding a decent shop.

Jason,

Depending on details and budget there might be a couple players in the Eugene/Springfield area that would be closer to you than the Portland market. FWIW - My wife is from Coos Bay and we have numerous family members living there.

Pictures and objectives would help put perspective on the caliber of build.

Are there some decent shops in eugene? Either way I'm gonna have to go to Portland to load car....errrr



Things I wanted completed :
Install front brakes
Brakes lines
Fuel lines
Wire car
Install Pwr steering rack
Cold air intake
Build console (round tube and sheet metal) for shifter, cup holders, arm rest etc.
Upper and lower rad hose

a list of part I already have:

Wheels and tires (Welds 15X?) wrapped in drag radials 275. However I want to change them to a darker pro-touring 18 & 17" wheels looking for a small offset to create a nice big lip in the rear rear Large front and rear tires that fit. I know I can go from $1000 to $4000 on wheels to I have to be careful not to blow all my money away on the wheels but I also know they make or brake the car.
Suspension TCI front sub frame, frame connectors, ladder bars (which I don't like) 9" rear with strange center section 4.11 gears, drum brakes in rear, disc in front (like to change the rear to disc) Need E brake.
Mini tubbed
Transmission Built T56 2010 GTO trans, monster clutch stage II, Tick time adjustable MC, GTO starter, custom cross member (not sure if it hangs to low)?
Steering Ididit column manual rack (want to use power rack)
Power Train LY6 engine with VVT delete, new head gaskets, new LS3 intake fuel rails and injectors, New LS3 heads with matching springs for cam, new Shorty wires, all new f body accessories with low mount Allen Grove A/C bracket, throttle body, Motor mounts, church boys racing headers, I have stainless Pypes 2.5 mufflers here at house that we can use for mufflers too.
Ignition & Electrical New American Auto Wire harness for 67 Nova, New PSI engine harness for conversion both are plug and play with engine and gauge cluster Corvette ECU, Driver by wire gas pedal,
Cooling New Etrophy Church boys racing radiator built for nova using LS, fans and shrouds with harness (need upper and lower hose really like the stainless powder coated look) Not a fan of hose clamps. I saw some black smooth hose ends that looks really clean.
Interior Dakota Digital gauge cluster and climate control, vintage air, rear bench seat, (need front buckets, full interior want to change steering wheel dash pad, radio bezel, door skins and arms pads and bases upgrade interior door handles and window cranks, head liner and sail panels, rear package tray. I purchased MGW nice shifer and handle also a neon console to house it along with e brake handle.
Exterior I have new Door handles but need locks, all trim is really good with exception of a piece or two missing on rear window, grille and head light bezels are there but have no bumpers (was waiting of buying fiber glass to paint match or not). I think hood hinges are a little weak but cant remember or it might be trunk?

Anyways thats all I can remember for now.... I'm sure there is more.

Do you have any budget you want to stay within? Any pics?

[Power]

Budget is small.... Lol I would really like to learn to do it myself however I doubt I have skills to produce the quality of work I want.... One the other have I doubt I can pay for top top quality either... I just want the car driving for now so I can feel like the project is moving..

There is a shop southwest of Portland in a town called Newberg named Zig's Street Rods. Don't let the name fool you, they work on all types and years of cars. They have been in business for a couple decades (the current owners have been there for 10 years) and have great customer service. They are also dealers for many of the parts that you seek.

Ask for Mike or Christie

I would try Steve at http://www.modernclassicsauto.com/

I would make the car driveable a priority. First would be to the car wired, brakes, and steering. Then get a new tranny crossmember. My opinion is that its too low and going to be a pain to get the exhaust around it.
the cosmetic stuff can come after the major stuff to stay on a budget.

I agree with Bob --- Give Steve Heino a call. He's a good man and a good shop and does quality work and is HONEST.

He does all the work on a buddies two cars -- and trust me when I tell you he is FUSSY. (Bob - You know Stan and Sue...)
