We do everything from minor repairs to complete frame off restorations. We do fiberglass repairs and refinishing. We also do special customer requests, such as strip and refinish, interiors, performance, and service. We are one of the leaders in the tube chassis conversions for C1, C2, and C3 Corvettes. We have built numerous full custom Corvettes, and several NCRS Top Flight and Bloomington Gold cars. See our online gallery.

Jamison's was founded in 1969 by John Jamison. Since then we have expanded four times to have a 2,700 square foot showroom and 4,500 square foot work area.

Unfortunately, the value of a car cannot be determined accurately without a visual inspection at the minimum.

I generally discourage buying a project car. You will usually spend more on a project car than buying one that has already been restored.

If you want more horsepower I recommend long tube headers. After market mufflers affect mostly sound and appearance.

We prefer the Vararam air intake system. This system pulls fresh air from the grille area. This has a ram air effect.

A gear swap makes the biggest difference in acceleration. If you have a C5 automatic with a 2.72 axle ratio and swap to a 3.73 ratio you could reduce a 1/4-mile multiplied by as much as a full second.

Older Corvettes have a tendency to overheat. If your radiator is a brass/copper radiator then you should switch to an aluminum radiator. Aluminum radiators are much more efficient and will usually drop engine temperatures considerably.
