Getting my Grand National this month! - Saint Louis area

[progress1vebmx]

I'm getting my Grand National this month, I can't wait. My first mods, to put on top of the already extensive list of mods is going to be...

SMC kit
Turbolink
Paint job
GNXDash

Are there any clubs in the area, or any shops around that deal with Grand Nationals? I would love to install all this stuff myself, but I am not 100% sure of myself, and the best bet would be for me to have it installed professionally. Also - Does anyone recommend some good paint places in the area?

SMC kit

- contact Razor http://www.alkycontrol.com and speak to him first about a setup.....trust me you wont be sorry No comparison IMO. You can do some research over in the alky section aswell, he is the tech advisor, and one of the moderators.
