Just a thought, you may want to include a list of those businesses to avoid, as well. There are several enthusiasts that have been swindled out of their hard earned cash (John Nasta) by incompetant business owners. I for one would like to know which shop to avoid, as well as which ones are recommended. Not that there are going to be a lot of inputs for Alaska! ;-) Don't get me wrong, though, I think it's a great idea.

I will be creating an area on our website that will be Businesses recommended by Chevelle Enthusiasts that will cover the entire U.S. Businesses will be listed by state and category. I will also post comments by the submitting party, as long as they are GOOD comments. NO comments, NO addition to the list. In addition, you will not be able to submit your own business for the listing... it has to be done by another person. Once we get enough inputs, maybe it will become a searchable database (future plan). If you have anyone you would like to see on the list, please send me an email with the following information: Category - (Engine, Transmission, Rears, Paint/Bodywork, Full Restoration, Chroming, Upholstery, Parts, General Mechanical, Other) Business Name Point of contact (POC) Complete Address Phone number (including Area Code) A brief description of what they do... if in the other category PLEASE NOTE: Include a personal comment to be posted along with the business. If you would not PERSONALLY recommend this business, i.e. have experience in dealing with them (not hear say), then do NOT submit their information. YOUR name will be listed as the reference. Not every one of us may have had a GREAT experience with every single business listed. Therefore, I simply will not list any companies or individuals that are submitted with negative comments. This is because I do not want any hassles from those companies or individuals about have "negative or slanderous" comments about them on the website. IF I receive more than 2 or 3 negatives against a particular company that first makes the list, I will just remove them from the site. If you are a business that made the list and was later removed, then you can contact me to see why. A typical entry will look something like this Maryland General Mechanical Bob's Automotive Racing POC - Bob Wilcox 2510 Pfefferkorn Road West Friendship, MD 21794-9420 301-785-1428 Comments - Bob does General Mechanical work (just about anything you can think of) at a fair price. Top Notch work! Bob is also a local supplier for rear axles (Moser/Strange, etc...) and Jet Hot headers Recommended by Donnie Gates, President, Maryland Chevelle Club As the list evolves, I may add more categories for ease of use. I will gather this info for the next couple of weeks and will put them up on the website as soon as enough information is received to warrant so. Thanks for your participation.
