Vette Crazy

My father-in-law has a 1986 Corvette, his passion for this car was very strong however he was never able to fully restore the vehicle. We both dreamed of getting the car back in perfect condition, in fact he frequently started the car up and took it out on little fun-runs with my daughter.
My father-in law passed away on September 24, 2006, and I decided to continue the work we started on this car/project so that his legacy will live on in this car. I want to fully restore the vehicle, however I'm not even sure where to begin with doing it.. (I'm not mecahnically inclined
I know that the car needs, some engine work, shocks, new interior (seats, carpet, dashboard, etc..)
Can someone here in the forum provide some advice as to what steps I should take. I believe I will take the car to a local corvette Dealer here in Dallas to do the engine work, but I want to make sure they have some real zeal for working on vettes.. I understand that this is huge undertaking and it is going to take some time, but I was wondering is there a way to look up vette shops online to get feedback on there work. I say this because many years ago I tried to restore my old 1978 280Z (one of the first pocket rockets and I had a horrible experience. For those of you who do read this, thanks for taking time out of your day, and any suggestions you have will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
