When you're ready to restore that baby in the garage, call father and son, Bob and Brian Hamzey. Their thing is early Camaros. They specialize in restoring, souping up, re-muscling, adding flame throwers, and painting pearl and candy coatings on any muscle car you bring in that's pre-'74. Chevelles, Camaros, Mustangs, even British Jensens and Jags are welcome. Full restoration takes 1 1/2 to 3 years. Much of that time is spent searching for parts. Plan to spend $20K to $50K.
