Default Custom bike shops in Clermont/Orlando areas

I just retired and moved down from MI. I left all of my good fabricators up north, so I'm looking for a custom bike shop to have some stuff done. I spoke to the local HD shop and got some leads, but wondered if anyone could recommend any place to me here? I need some fiberglass work, paint, and some mechanical work (gonna try to put a 180 tire on the front). Any one come to mind? I live in Clermont, but if they are good I don't mind driving (I'm retired, lol). If I just wanted paint, I could go to Attitude Paint in St. Pete. The fab stuff is where I need help. Someone that knows what they are doing and stand behind it. I saw the shop "Art In Motion" on the puter, are they any good? Also heard about Vince Balistreri but don't know if he'll do the mechanical stuff. Any leads for me? Thanks guys.

Jerry

If you are looking for performance engine work, one of the best in the business is local for you. http://www.docsperformancetuning.com/
He could probably point you to some local talent for the body works as well.
Just drop by and visit him, he loves to talk and knows his stuff. He can be moody sometimes so just be prepared to keep killing him with kindness and he will come around.
Auburndale is just east of Lakeland BTW.

As Just Dave, said go by and talk to "Doc" call first though as he is in and out quit a bit. He can point you to the best local talent for your project. He is a wealth of knowledge about Harley's.
