Please share comments about Mopar restoration shops
There is a restoration shop here in Pa. that specializes in Mopars. If your looking , Make sure the shop you pick has fixtures for specific bodies. If you see cars on jack stands being done stay away from that shop. A rotisserie is only for Cleaning, and Paint . Body assembly is done on fixtures for the specific bodies.
Here are some pictures of a shop here in eastern Pa. Some homework will find it very easy. It was south of me off of route 222 below Reading Pa. They are closed as per their name but was told work is still being done there. This shop had the proper equipment for mopars not just jack stands and a rotisserie. There are so many wannabe Mopar shops out there.
Once you give a shop your down payment your car is stuck there for many many years. So make sure they have the room inside for your car and enough stands while taking on other jobs when yours is on hold for unexpected reasons such as parts or circumstances that arise with your build.
The Barracuda your talking about was a mess. he was lucky to have a B&E-body guy take it on. Plus think how long it took to find the parts that they didn't stock. Not to mention all the information they needed to gather on a type of car they never worked on in their shop. The GTS convertible from Bath Pa. down the street from me is another build by GYC's that was a real basket case. Mopar builders are a special breed and its hard to come across good dedicated people in this growing community.
The bodies are disappearing to custom shops for all the junk yard Hemis that are available with no where to put them legally for the common back yard builders except cars older then 1974 . Which are emission exempt bodies here in Pa.. So lately saving them is critical while they are still being found.
