Default Restorations shops

Where is a good place to find info regarding shops that have a good reputation for restoring the interior and exterior of 68-70 B body cars?

I've recently acquired a '68 B body car and would like to get it professionally restored. The previous owner indicated the car was repainted/repaired by a local shop back in '92 and I'd like to get it stripped and redone as the job wasn't that good.

Any help much appreciated!

Thanks......

Unless you;re willing to travel or ship the car, I'd suggest asking some local car club guys. You can usually find some at the local Burger joint or mall parking lot on weekends. Those guys , regardless of brand (chevy/ford.etc) will be the best sourse for a local shop with a good rep, or even some insight as to which ones to avoid. Good luck, got any pics of the car?

I'd much rather take it to someone that has restored a good deal of Dodge/Plymouth muscle era cars. They will know all the in's and out's and where to source the correct parts. I'm sure I can find a reputable paint shop locally, but I'm after experience with the body.
