Hi Jerry,
Just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for a fantastic job on
reskinning my 302 valve covers. The people that have seen them
already cannot believe the difference as well as myself. I couldn't ask
for more.
Hope you had an enjoyable holiday and thank you again for your time.
Barry Browning, Providence, RI
Hi Jerry,
I can't thank you enough for getting my distributor straightened out. I
know I made a big mistake in dealing with one of your competitors first
before I met you but that will never happen again. I originally thought
a distributor rebuild was a basic task. When I received my distributor
back the first time, my Z/28 would not idle, and there was no throttle
response. The car had no power.......my whole experience with that
"other" distributor guy was a bad experience. Thanks to Camaro
Hi-Performance, my Z/28 runs great, has more power and breaks the tires
loose in first gear! It idles better than it ever did before. And your
prices are very modest compared to many in the business. I will be a
life long customer with Camaro Hi-Performance. Thanks again,
Jerry,
I wanted to drop you a note to let you know how pleased I am with
the work you did on my 56 Corvette intake and valve covers. I was
certain the manifold was a lost cause for a restoration when it cracked,
but it looks better than it did when GM installed it in 56 - and the
valve covers came out perfect. Thanks for all your patience and
professional expertise - my 56 is much better for your efforts.

Jerry,
I was at the Super Chevy Show last week (Texas), and virtually every
owner of the nicest cars owed much credit to the nice and ever helpfull
Jerry MacNeish. I thought you might like to hear how people (I am sure
you already do know) in the Lone Star State have been positively
affected by your work!, Myself included.
Regards,
Robert A. Willis, Dallas, TX
Jerry,
Just wanted you to know how much I enjoyed my visit to Camaro
Hi-Performance. While we have been shipping parts for my '68 Z/28 back and
fourth for a few years now I only saw the excellent craftsmanship you put
into all your work, but after making a trip to your shop, I got to see the pride
(in person) that you put into all that you do. I always knew this, but I
saw first hand why you are tops in this field. It's because if your dedication
and knowledge to the hobby
that I have won many trophies with my car including first place at the
Camaro Nationals last year.
I just wanted to let you know that I had a great day at your shop and thanks for lunch!
Bill Vitiello, Staten Island, NY
Jerry,
I can't thank you enough for bringing the 1967 L88 intake manifold that I
sent you back to life. I have to be honest with you, myself and everyone
in my shop thought there was little hope for repairing this intake.
After all, it was broken in half.....that's right, in two pieces. And if
you welded it back together, it would probably still look like an intake
that was repaired. All I can say is wow! When we received this intake
back, no one in the shop (including myself ) could believe this was the
same intake we sent you! The manifold looked brand new, like it was
just taken out of the Winter's mold in 1967! Your weld repair and
reskinning process is simply the best. Keep up the great work.
Kevin Mackay, Corvette Repair, Valley Stream, NY
At a time when it seems that unpleasant vendor services are more the rule
than the exception the work performed by Jerry MacNeish, (Camaro Hi Performance), is outstanding.
I found Jerry to be personable, well informed and professional. Upon
receiving my items he called to discuss the nature of the services I
wanted, the condition of my parts and what he felt was appropriate given their condition.
The parts were completed on schedule and the quality was excellent.
I find myself increasingly reluctant to recommend vendor services but
have no such reservations about Jerry and Camaro Hi Performance, absolutely the best...
Jerry Clark, Jerry's Vette Restorations, Hernando Beach, Florida
Jerry,
Just wanted to drop you a note thanking you for the excellent job you did
for me locating and rebuilding a complete 1968 302 engine. I gave you quite
a tall order to fill and you came through with flying colors. The engine
got here in great shape and everything is just as good as you said it would
be. The shipper said that the packing of the engine is the best he had
every seen. Again, thanks for all of your help and I look forward to doing
business with you in the future.
Bruce Whitfield, Butte, Montana
Jerry,
The valve covers arrived a few minutes ago and they look great! My old
aluminum valve covers were spotted with various stains and did not appear
to clean up readily with most common cleaners. Your process has made them
look very neat without an 'over restored' look. Thanks for doing such a
nice job.

Dear Jerry:
I want to express my deepest appreciation for the expert advice and guidance you have given me on my 1968 Z/28 and 1968 RS/SS L78. When I first got back into the first-generation cars after a 15-year hiatus, I felt very uncomfortable making a car buying decision due to my lack of knowledge of the cars and the market. You helped guide me into two great cars.
I want to especially thank you for you help on the L78. You helped me recognize that it was a special car and that it was crucial to preserve it in its original state. Your superb work on the car to bring it back to its exact original state was more then I could have hoped for. There is no one else that I would trust more with any aspect of my cars.
It is hard to find good people that you can truly trust and count on. Jerry, I consider you a good friend and above all, I respect you because of your knowledge, integrity, and appreciation you bring to first generation cars. You have easily been the key person that has made my last two years in the hobby a most enjoyable experience. I would recommend your services above anyone else in this business. As long as we have people like you leading this hobby, I expect the first-generation cars to only get more popular and valuable. Sincerely,
Lawrence E. Eakin Jr., 1968 Camaro enthusiast
Dear Jerry:
Thanks for the excellent job you did rebuilding the Muncie 4-speed for our
1968 Camaro.
We have had it back for about 3 weeks now and it works beautifully. Very
smooth shifting.
Thanks again
Rick Morris, Arlington, VA
Jerry, I received all three intakes safe and sound.
First off, your restoration process is excellent. I have seen and worked on
several specialty cars and have to say these are the finest restorations I
have ever seen. A few COPO friends of mine saw them and want to immediately
purchase two of them.
Thanks again and I'll keep in touch. I may have an LS-6 intake coming
your way for a clean up also. Appreciate the job you have done,
Eric Bokluno, San Jose, CA
Hi Jerry,
I received the restored parts for my 1967 Z/28 (calipers, master cyl,
cooling fan and fan clutch) yesterday and am quite pleased with the
results. The fan clutch looks absolutely brand new. I look forward to
sending more parts your way. Thanks for everything.
Ron Scherer, Scotts Valley, CA
Greetings Jerry.
Wow, talk about service. You had to receive my distributor Monday or
later and to my surprise it was sitting on my dining room table when I
got home from work on Friday! The restoration looks fabulous. Quick
turnaround and high quality is a rare combination these days, it seems
you've mastered both.
I'm looking forward to doing additional business with you this fall on
my intake and alternator. Keep up the good work. Regards,
Paul Gallo, Orchid Lake, MI
Hi, Jerry -
I recently sent you a large shipment of original '69 Z/28 parts to be
re-skinned, rebuilt, and restored, including my 472 intake manifold, 480
distributor, 837 alternator, 4053 carburetor, 9204 brake booster, valve
covers, master cylinder cap, prop and metering valve brackets, plus two sets
of rare staggered-hole Corvette valve covers, and a Ferrari cam cover.
When I got them back, I was stunned at how terrific everything looked - just
like the day they were made!
I've spent 37 years in the OEM end of the automobile industry (21
years with GM and the last 16 with Chrysler, retiring recently as Plant
Manager of the Viper/Prowler assembly plant), and have been a hot-rodder
and restorer all my life as a hobby. Through all the cars I've built and
restored over the years, I've been disappointed many times in the quality of
specialized work I've farmed out to others; my experience with you is the
first time in all those projects that I've been 100% satisfied with the
results, where every part not only met, but exceeded, my standards and
expectations.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your outstanding restoration services
to anyone, and in fact, have already done so; keep up the good work!
Sincerely, John Hinckley, Washington, Michigan
Jerry:
Intake arrived safely today. Nice job. The finish on
the aluminum looks just right, no evidence of any
media blasting which would destroy the "as cast"
finish. Sorry for all the questions up front, but, I
have done this process on other intakes at other
places and have never really been pleased, so I was
skeptical going in. Great job! Thanks again,
Jerry,
Thanks for the superb job and quick turn around on my 1967 3x2 intake.
I had no idea that the heater hose nipple threads could be restored or that the
water pump by-pass nipple could be replaced. I've shown the intake to several
people and they can't believe how great the re-skin looks. I can't wait to
start showing the car and your work. It was a pleasure dealing with you.
Thanks again for everything!
Pat Churchill, Severna Park, Maryland
Jerry,
Just letting you know you did a great job refinishing my intake and
valve covers. Also the casting flaw came out great, you'd never know it
was there! They look brand new. Thanks again for the good job, I'll be
using you again in the near future on my next project......a Camaro. I'll be sure
to recommend you to anyone who is looking for restoration services.
- Mike McKenzie, Niagara Falls, NY
Jerry,
The work you did on the intake manifold, transmission and one cover is great. My
motor guy is extremely impressed with the intake, and club members have seen
it and are equally impressed. Can't wait to try the 4-speed, but will have
to wait till the frame off is completed.
Dennis Russo, Canastota, NY
Dear Jerry,
I can't thank you enough for all the excellent work you have done on my
parts. Everything you have restored and or rebuilt (transmission, shifter,
intake & exhaust manifolds, distributor, valve covers, starter, smog pump,
alternator) turned out as good as, or better than new. My 69 Z/28 is an
original all numbers matching fully documented car. Before I knew you it
was a major concern to consider sending my valuable parts out. I am so
happy I found you to trust and respect my parts. Your knowledge and respect
for first generation Camaros has been of great help to me. (Also your
Definitive 69 Z/28 book has been very helpful). My only regret is that I
did not meet you sooner!
Thank you again for all your excellent work and your continued telephone
support. You are a truly nice and honorable man. It is a pleasure doing
business with you and knowing you. Candidly Yours,
Steve Goddard, Calabasas, CA
Dear Jerry,
I received my 67 Muncie shifter in the mail today and was very surprised
as to how beautiful it turned out. In your previous correspondence to me
you stated it was the worst shifter you ever worked on. Knowing how rusty
the shifter was, I was not expecting as nice a job as you did and not
charging me more for doing so. Also the mounting bracket and linkages look
brand new with the black oxide coating you put on. I am very pleased with
the service and turn around time you have given me at a very reasonable
price. I will be sending you other parts to restore in the near future as I
continue my Project 67.
Dwight Min, Honolulu, Hawaii
Hi Jerry,
Just a short note to tell you how pleased I am with my engine
and transmission rebuild and restoration. Thanks for a great job.
There is no question you know your stuff. The thing I like most about
dealing with you is your love of what you do. You treated my car
as a personal project. In your words "brought another one back."
Thanks Again,
Gary Sommers, Middletown, Maryland
Jerry,
Received the '67 Corvette aluminum tri-power intake back this week that you fixed and
reskinned. Awesome!!!! Thanks, I recommended you to my good friend, Dan Regan, who has the
same need with the same intake.
Gary Seymour, Towanda, PA
Hi Jerry,
Just a note to let you know that I received the distributor today.
WOW am I impressed, it looks absolutely fantastic! You will have all of
my future business, and I will be sure to recommend you to my friends.
I will be sending you another 1111499 distributor for the same
rebuild. It is for my COPO car. This one looks so good, that I want to
get it done to that distributor too. Best regards,
Richard Bateman, Columbus, OH
Jerry:
I would like to say what a great job you did on my distributor for my
69 Z/28. The restoration looks excellent and the turn around time was very
quick. The restoration cost was very reasonable and I would not hesitate
sending other items to you for restoring. Thanks,
Dan Montgomery, Roseville, MI
Once again, many thanks for the great job you did on my 1968 Z/28 Carburetor,
Distributor, Intake Manifold, and Alternator. After seeing your 67 RS Z/28
at the General Motors Tech Center several years ago, I knew I was making the
right choice sending my numbers matching parts to you. I can't wait for some
vacation time at Christmas to enjoy building up the top half of my engine.
Again, thanks very much and as mentioned previously, expect to see a couple
of 1966 427 Caprice Alternators from my friend Leigh.
Jerry, just wanted to say how well my brake booster, caliper brackets,
shields, alternator and calipers came out. The new cadmium plating really
catches the eye and rebuilding my original pieces were much more cost
effective than buying them from the re-pro houses. I can rest easy knowing
that a true Camaro enthusiast is restoring my parts versus a back room
operation trying to make a quick buck. I am eagerly awaiting the starter,
M20 transmission, voltage regulator, horn relay and shifter handle that I
have just dropped off for restoration. I was also impressed with the
exhaust manifold treatment process and I will send you my set, as soon as
I can find one.
Jerry, enclosed is a check for the work you have done on the intake
and 2 January 69 YH wheels. Your name is as respected in the Camaro
world as Michael Jordan's is in the basketball world and I appreciate
your conversation.
Thank you for keeping me informed as to the progress and the work
necessary to bring the intake to form. I am in sales and one of the
things that I have learned is than an uninformed customer is an unhappy
customer.
Again thank you for your professionalism, your business will continue
to flourish if you continue the quality of service you have provided me.
Jerry, I would like to thank and commend you on the excellent work on my
distributor, intake and transmission. Your re-skinning process is great.
It doesn't get any better! I would also like to thank you for the speedy
service and fair pricing of you work. I recommend that anybody needing
these services look no further. I'll be sending more items shortly.
THANKS!!!!
Chuck Huber, Pennsylvania
Jerry,
I would like to thank you for the excellent work on my crossram manifold. You were right, I am amazed. It looks like new again. I can't thank you enough for the great service and quality of work that you provide.
Thanks again,
Larry Smith
Metamora, Illinois
