I used to live about an hour from their shop. I was past it a few months ago not that that helps at all :) I've never heard anything bad about them. My cousin lives in Chippewa Falls where their shop is and he says they are usually backed up about 6 months or so for work. If you haven't checked out there website, please do. They have a ton of pictures on every car they do. I look at their photo gallery just for ideas. Sorry that probably doesn't really help you.

I visited with one of their guys at the NATs in 07. Their worked looked very good but the price blew my mind when he told me what it would cost to do my car.

As much pub as these guys get in magazines and TV, I don't doubt that they do great work, but I bet you will pay 2-3 times more than other shops.  If you have the $$ and want a show car, then it would be worth considering, but otherwise I'm sure there are plenty of local shops around that can do great work for much less money.

Yeah, they were looking for help a while back.  I've always wanted to take a drive down there and take a looksie at their work, just for fun.  About an hour from me.   :burnout:

I am of absolutely no help.   :blah: :roflsmiley:

It was in the $75k range if I remember right. It was big enough to blow my mind so I kind of blocked it out  :icon16:

Wow. If you go by the old seat of your pants dollarometer it would add up to well over 100k when you got done   :scared: 

I dont know that I could ever pay that much for a restoration even though I know an all out one would probably be much higher, 2 to 3 times higher, than the number you posted   :scared:   :banghead:   :eek2:   :scared:   :sadwavey:   :walkaway:
