Looking for LS1 Swap and body work in Florida
I'm located in the Naples/Fort Myers Florida on the Gulf Coast. There is not many trustworthy places left to take my car. If anyone out there knows good places here I'd be very grateful.
Need a good paint-job/body work and was about to swap the engine as its in bad shape. Been wanting to do a swap since 2007.
Thanks for the help!

You would probably get better information posting on your regional forum.

Hate to sound retarded, but how would I do that?? I've only done a few posts.

I've done the swap to my own car, but I am not a professional
I would be glad to lend a hand if need be

Re: Looking for LS1 Swap and body work in Florida
Too bad you are so far away. I am a refinish technician by trade and do work at home as well. Have completed three LS swaps very recently, first was my thirdgen, then a 5.3 into a jeep and a 5.3 into a 78 Malibu for friends of mine.
Have done 4 complete paint jobs on thirdgens, 2 were total color changes.
Here the last car I did, a 91 TA convertible
