Maybe it is just me, but I personally wouldn't spend the money to ship a car half way across the country and back to get a driver's level resto done.

If looking for a driver level resto, I'm sure there are plenty of shops in the Jersey area that could do the work and still be close enough for an occassional trip to check on the resto progress.

I haven't lived in NJ for nearly 20 years, but back then the only "restoration" shop that I knew of was Totally Auto in eastern PA. Back then I think they were the bees knees in Mopar restos, but not sure about their current reputation.
