Restoration Help

My expertise is in home construction not automotive repair. I am damned with the love for 67-72 Chevy trucks and need help with finding someone who gives a sh-- about these trucks in my area. Can anyone tell me the name(s) of anyone who can help restore these trucks in SoCal? Thanks.
