The monkeys make me ill, I stopped watching.

Depends on what you want done and your budget and timeline.
Rodney's got a nice place, did want I wanted done. I posted pictures of my car from the time it started at his place to when it went home on his site:
http://www.rodscarcraft.com/customer...rracuda?page=1

He does more mechanical, has someone really good he works with for engines, and has people come in to do specialty tasks like interior and glass. I did all the disassembly and am doing assembly now. Just had them do some of the mods to the body, body work, and the paint. They are a small shop and work progresses slowly, but I had no issues.

Another vote for Rods Car Craft, very happy with the body work he did for me.

Vastines Paint Garage for paint & body needs. He also works w/RPL Customs on multiple projects. Roger @ RPL is a parts dealer, fabricator, interior guy, & top notch builder.

They're both in the Rockwall/Royce City area about 30mins East of Dallas. Google the names for some pics of their work.

Customs and Hot Rods of Andice is NORTH of Austin — so wouldn’t be that far of a drive from you.... and they build some pretty nice stuff!!! You want a race car — they have them and build them — you want a simple little truck - they’ll do that too..... They aren’t for the light of budget.......
