I had to stop and think - yup I actually bought the car back in 1990 or 1991! It was listed in the local paper and was only a couple of towns over from me. I bought it off of Bob G, I guess he raced a lot at Englishtown. He never titled the car, it was still under your name. I kind of rat-rodded it and drove it around for a while, around 2005 or 6 pulled it apart and sent it to a shop that had popped up close to home and then closed a few years later. I was estimated to have a painted shell for $X, but at X + 50% I was still only in primer- I had to pull the car. Life got very busy afterwards and it's sat on the back burner since. In hindsight I should have sucked it up and just saw it through, lesson learned. It's only going to cost (a lot) more now. But ready to take it the rest of the way. The engine is at a machine shop for rebuild, I've been told everything checks out, has a lot of miles on it but no issues so that's good to hear. Have collected a lot of really nice parts for it.

Kohr's finally got back to me and said that they might have a spot 2 years out. I was hoping for something this summer. The other shops mentioned in prior posts are just too far away for my comfort. Can anyone else make a recommendation?

"Good" is a very relative term. Stan's B & S Auto in Scranton, PA, can do "good" work at reasonable rates. The owner is a big Mopar guy and their turn around times are decent. If you want a nice car that will still get driven I'd consider them, and like anything else you'll get better results if you are really specific about what you expect upfront. They do a lot of late model wrecks but also had several cars come through that were winning awards at Carlisle in the 90s so it's all in what you ask for.

Staatsburg NY. Probably too far.

He does good work, fair prices, but a long turnaround time.

Scranton is a little over an hour. Very doable. That's the plan - very nice driver but still a driver...

I saw a shop on facebook that apparently does a lot of Mopars - has a couple of Cudas currently - somewhere along the Hudson River but I forget the name right now.
