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....

Subject: IML: '64 LeBaron 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.
