Looking for a Mopar Restoration Shop - 01/07/11 10:21 PM

I have a 68 Barracuda that has been sitting for a couple of years that I need to have finished up. The motor and transmission is in the car, most of the interior is in and I have about 95% of the parts restored or new ready to go into the car. I just do not have the know-how or time to finish this up. I am located on I-20 on the Alabama-Georgia line. Does anyone know of a good shop around the area that could finish this project up for me?

Thats getting a little too far for me, but I'll see if there is someone closer. All the body work is done. Shouldnt be more than a 3 week job for someone who knows what they are doing. The hardest thing I think will be to assymble and install the dash components.

Is it already painted and you just need it assembled?

We need more info and photos but might be able to help.

Im at work and this is all I have access to right now. As you can see, steering wheel is in, most of the interior is in excluding seats, dash needs assymbled and the motor needs all the goodies to be installed (carb, starter, radiator, water pump, etc)

PM me and I will put you in touch with one of the top restorers in the country. He is now in Atlanta and a close friend who is looking for a light task like this. His cars have been in many magazines and taken national awards. I have been restoring Mopars for many years and he is my go to guy so you know he is good.

One of the best guys in the country is John Owens located in Douglasville, GA. Tell him Randy from Dixie referred you - 770-942-9345.

I also recommend Bill Allphin at A&M who posted above if you want to take it to KY.

I would like to recommend John Owens and crew in Douglasville. They did my '71 Road Runner in the post by Harold above. They did a great job at a very fair price. Give John a call and drop by his shop on Highway 5 just north of I-20. His number is 770-942-9345.
