the only person that has ever done anything for me is Gary Jennings in tenn. He builds "race" cars, not show cars. I worked on Rains' hansen car and thought it was pretty good also. Like you said its only my opinion, Gary has built 4 cudas, and so far we are the only one to finish one (actually 2) so far. some guy in detroit named Brian has had one for 2 years +, but hasnt got it done yet, and beshore has one that has been at the paint shop for 18 months. we had ours running in 4 weeks from when we picked it up in bare metal.
