restoration
Chris,
I am in Virginia and just had
extensive mechanical restoration work done to my 67 Chrysler 300. I'm located
in Northern Virginia. Not sure if my advice
will be very helpful to you or not....the guys who worked on my car are
working for someone else now (not working at their own shop anymore) and their
employeer won't let them work on their "customer's" cars anymore. Best advice
I can give you is to join a car club that is local to you as well as belonging
to wider/bigger clubs (such as this On-Line Imperial Club).
Where
are you located in Virginia??? If you are in the Washington, DC area, I would suggest CPOC (Chrysler
Product Owners Club) as a local Mopar Club. If you are in the Tidewater/Va
Beach area I would suggest the Tidewater Mopar Club. Both have websites and
are very active in their local areas. Members will tend to know the good
places to go to get your car repaired/restored.
My "guys" still work on
cars on the weekends at their "home" shops...but right now they are swamped.
My car has had 80% of the work I wanted done completed and is safe and
drivable...I've been on my own now to try to find people to do the other 20%
of the job. I have found someone who works at a Dodge dealer and has his own
shop where he works with some helpers evenings and weekends. I'm getting him
started on completing the final 20% of the restoration.
It sounds kinda
weird but that's how I've had to go about getting my car restored. I think I
may start a thread about this....peoples experiences or restoration stories.
The process is not a drop the car off/done on schedule type of
thing....

restoration
I have
decided to have major mechanical restoration work done to my
'64,
engine rebuild, transmission, rear end, a/c, suspension and
steering. I
would greatly appreciate some input from those who have
had Imperial
restorations done as to what shop(s) they used. I would
prefer to use a shop
that really knows Imperials. I just don't have
the time to research every
potential shop. Fancy shops can be all
presentation, and no substance. Dirty
holes in the wall can act like
they're doing someone a favor to work on
their vehicle, and also lack
substance. I'm on the east coast, in Virginia,
and will go anywhere
within the contiguous 48 states, but prefer closer to
home if
possible. Please contact me on or off list with your information.
Thanks
so much.
