Cool Looking For Good Shop

Starting to build a custom. I have a '76 Shovel that I want to have completely rebuilt. I am looking for a reliable shop/mechanic that knows Shovels. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Would prefer to stay in the northern Illinois area if possible, but experience and care is more important.

Not located in that area, but we have built more Shovels than I can remember.
Had an 80"er that would pull 11.90's/109-110 mph.
I still have a 1967 FLH, and my brother runs his 103" Shovel, at least a couple times a week.
