Looking for a 3rd Gen GM Specialty Shop or Mechanic

I own a 1992 Camaro. All Original 49,000 miles. Bought it to replace a car I should have never sold. I am an active duty Marine stationed in Southern California and am looking for a reputable shop or Mechanic who loves these cars a s much as I do. I had an awesome guy in NJ who specialized in these cars when I was in NJ (Shout out to Jared at Earhart Automotive)and now that I am on the west coast I need some advice. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jake

That thread is a great place to start.

I would also personally recommend Gene Jones Racing in La Habra (714) 650 0042. He's building an engine for me right now and has two or three thirdgen's in there at any given time. You can see the FI 427 that he has going into an 88. Tell him James sent you.
