MoPar Restoration Shops - Central/Eastern US

American Muscle Car Restorations in Rhode Island does some beautiful restoration work.
They usually have one of their cars on display each year at Carlisle.
I have been in the shop a number of times seeing completed cars, and those in various stages of restoration.
American Muscle Car Restorations, Inc. – Performing world class restorations for the most discriminating of collectors and connoisseurs.

They are on the list! After checking out their website, yes - you are right! Top shelf work!

Fury Pursuit does great work, is very meticulous and has a great amount of knowledge about C Bodies.


Thanks Bill...I try!!!
 
References, and ask about once the car is disassembled, how are parts stored and cataloged, and see this part of the process
 
A friend of a friend has had cars restored by Hodges and speaks very highly of them.

I have soured quite a bit on them but I understand the business and I did give them a third car to do.......... This one I call a facelift and its quite solid but looking aged.
 
Moderators - sorry if this isn't the appropriate place for this post. Please move accordingly!

I've spent time researching old and current posts regarding "best Mopar restoration shops" in the USA. Lots of opinions, experiences and advice in all those posts; which is great. Ultimately a person needs to make a choice on a shop. In my opinion, a person collects and gathers data from posts, opinions, comments and advice and then make a decision. Like hiring an employee - I think a person should interview restoration shops. Call them, visit them, talk about your project, your vision, goals, expectations, wants, needs, acceptable differences, etc. I live in Tennessee so I focused on compiling a list of restoration shops from Central US to the Eastern coast. This is my draft/notes that I'm asking for everyone's input to make sure it is as up-to-date as can be, so that I can post a Final List of Restoration Shops in Central/Eastern US. Also share your opinions, experiences, and advice so that others may learn. Thanks in advance for your input and help!
