Hi Jim,
I was in Paris this morning with my Challenger, a picture in front of the Tour Eiffel and the Statue of Liberty.
Thank you for posting this picture, Herve. That is awesome! I'm glad to see your Challenger on the road.

I have purchased several items restored and custom made by JS Restorations. I am very picky, so Jim's OCD and attention to detail are exactly what I look for. Can't wait to order a few more high quality parts. 
Thank you too, Carl. Yes, OCD (Obsessive Chrysler Disorder)!
It was great working with both of you. I appreciate it.
Jim

Amazing work Jim, again! I'll hope to get some more work one of these days since I have power windows that act up sometimes. Has anyone ever asked about working on Overhead console lights from SE and Gran Coupes (as well as some Sea Bodies)  It got me thinking after seeing your work that this is one area that could use some action.

Thank you! I can help you with the power windows. I do work on the SE - GC overhead console lights and wiring. Email or phone is the best way to contact me.
Just as a note, a friend of mine Claude, is now making reproduction overhead fiberglass headliners, consoles and sail panels. His first showing was at the Nats this year. I saw them and they are beautiful. Available with or without headliner material. Here's a contact for him: www.seheadliners.com

I finally found the picture I took of the restored grille on page 1 mounted on the car. Jackie was invited to display her car this year at Carlisle. Just as a note, I do not ship grilles I work on. All of the grilles shown were handed to me, and I handed them back to the owner after the restoration. If we can find a mutual place to meet within the Pittsburgh PA tri state area, I will be glad to look into the restoration with you.  Jim

Jim, you're a freak, the 2 relays you did for me are a work of art brother, thx.
Thank you, Mike! Hey, wait a minute? I resemble that remark! 
Here is the restoration of a DR1114447 fast idle solenoid. I can't find it in me to spell out what DR stands for,  but it was grandfathered into Chrysler, so I will restore them. This was DOA part.

Nice work..! Can you list what items you restore? I see grilles and a lot of electrical..lol Do you do the plating? It's nice to see original parts restored rather than just the repop option...

DR = Delco Remy (ironically a GM owned company)

Thank you very much. I appreciate it! 
I usually chat with the owner and discuss what their needs and goals are then I will give an estimate. I really don’t have a price list due to needing to see what needs restored and what condition the part is in. I use a commercial plating service for dichromate, clear zinc and black oxide. If someone asks for something that I don’t provide a service for, I am glad to make recommendations to the owner of people that special in a particular service or part for restoration.
I am asked a lot about the differences between searching for NOS electrical parts or restoring their parts. First off, you can never be sure how a forty to fifty year old part was stored over time. Those parts can have as much corrosion as the parts installed on the car. Second, who will accept a NOS electrical part for return that may not work properly? You can’t blame them. Once installed, it really isn’t NOS any longer. Third the cost. NOS electrical parts can command “unobtainium” prices. My restoration work costs less restore what you already have than chasing NOS Mopar parts, too.

Hey Scott, you just had to spell DR out! 
Delco Remy? Slowly I turned, step by step, inch by inch…
Here is an example since I just posted this restored DR1114447 next to a NOS DR1114421 fast idle solenoid for comparison.
