Just to re-iterate what 69ChargerRT said, Julius does the very best work I've ever seen. He is HIGHLY knowledgable in the MOPAR industry, and has basically been everywhere and done everything in the MOPAR restoration world. He is one of the few I would trust to do my work, and without me looking over his shoulder constantly....I would gladly just walk away and trust him. Truly consider him for your restoration needs. He is located near where I live in Los Angeles.
I have included his "About Us" section of his website below. Interesting read.

"About Julius Steuer...
Julius has been a Chrysler enthusiast since his first, new 1967 Plymouth Belvedere. He has worked in the automotive industry for more than thirty-two years, owning his own business in automotive repair for the majority of that time. Specializing in ground up restorations on performance Mopars, he is one of a very few also performing repairs and maintenance.
His work has earned him an excellent reputation and a display case full of trophies for not only himself, but for his many satisfied clients. He consults with Mopar enthusiasts both here in the United States and internationally. He and his work have been featured in many magazine articles all over the world.
His car club, Chrysler Performance West, has produced the largest and most successful Mopar show in the west for the last sixteen years. He also singularly produced the 1996 Pacific Nationals in Las Vegas.
He is an automotive consultant to the film industry, locating, preparing and/or building cars for movies and television. Some of his credits include: Terminal Velocity, Natural Born Killers, Hollywood's Love Affair with Cars, Viper, Vanishing Point, the television show Nash Bridges, and his own personal Dodge Daytona in the Dodge Daytona truck commercial. Julius was also instrumental in providing the location and preparing the cars for Chrysler's Venom introduction video. The latest production was several appearances on the History Channel and TLC regarding the Goldberg Show and Million Dollar vehicles featuring a real 71 Hemi Cuda Convertible (1 of 2 real 71 Hemi Convertibles which Julius has restored). He has also provided cars for various magazines and Chrysler publications which include posters, catalogues and calendars.

Extensive use of powder coating and plating is used to put all parts back into 'like new' condition. Aside from ground-up and partial restorations, we can do all forms of repairs, maintenance, modifications, customizing and various conversions, e.g."
