Try Michael J's on Almaden Rd. He's a nice guy. I've dealt with him before. He knows classics. He has a cool shop truck. It's a chopped '48 F1, red with ghost flames, 5.0 engine, leather interior, etc.
He'll be able to do work for you at a reasonable cost.
Thanks Ilya! I stopped by one day and the gentleman there told me he had "sold off" the hot rod side of the house to the Curtis brothers right around the corner. I went there and talked with them and they were very friendly and honest. The honest part was regarding just how backlogged they are, which must say something about their work. :-)
