Looking at getting my grille and tail panel restored on my dart. Who have you guys had good luck with? Totally auto is not far from me, any experience with them?

Brad,

MCB seems to do nice work. I have never had anything done by them though. www.tuffwheelrestoration.com

I have had a lot of this work done. Mark Shank did 2 grilles for me and they are works of art. But he as far as I know is not an option for now. MCB polished my Dart stainless and it was "ok" but nothing like the work Mark did. Cannot comment on their tail panels or grilles. I wasn't aware Totally Auto did that work. If they are close, they are in my book worth a try. I don't recall ever hearing anyone complain about Bill at SpecialT. I have talked to him at some shows and he was pleasant enough and his work there looked very good.

Good luck ! If you try Totally Auto give us some feedback !

I wasn't impressed with the work MCB did for me. Granted, the parts weren't in very good shape but they could have called and told me they were going to look like crap before they got too far on them. They didn't say a word...I got the pieces back and they looked horrible. A little heads up would have been nice. Maybe I was expecting too much?

I was a little more vague but exactly the same experience.
