I can ask around. Best bet is to hit some local gatherings and talk to people about who did theirs. Theres a pretty regular gathering on Thur nites (Yes , I realize it is already Thur nite

) in Bartlett at Stage and Kirby Whitten. Not a lot of high end stuff but a place to maybe make some contacts.

How much of a job do you have? Fairly straight? Total bucket? How much budget do you have? How soon to start?

PM Greg Banks (BeCool68). He lived in Olive Branch, MS and had his car built in that area. He'll give you his builders name.

Yep, up in Rogers. I was wondering if he ever got the hood painted. What color are the inner fenders now?

What a great guy too!

There`s a guy just north of Byhalia, Ms that has a shop on Byhalia Rd. that does exceptional work. I can`t remember the name of his shop or his name for that matter, but I remember that he charges $35 an hour. Can`t beat a price like that with the type of work he turns out. Steer clear of a guy named Joel Francis out in Oakland, Tn. He`s a major crook. He runs a shop out of his house.
