I heard good things about them too, but found that you'd better have a Hemi or Six Pack or a drop-top to dangle in front of their nose. They seemed to have stars in their eyes when I talked to them about 4.5 years ago. They just couldn't get excited about restoring "only" a rust-free, numbers-matching 383 4-speed e-body. And even if they did accept it, they couldn't get to it for at least a year and a half and the price was gonna start at $50-$75K. It was apparent they wanted me to go away so they could concentrate on glamour jobs.

I'd bet in this down economy and collector car hobby price downturn, they don't lightly dismiss a lot of paying customers like that anymore.

No funny icons necessary here -- just the plain facts.


Until total honesty is on the table, we're not even talking about reality...
