    They installed a front and rear spoiler, fixed my drivers seat, fixed the bushings on my console shifter. That's all they did for me. Nothing mechanical. They were all very nice and seemed fair in pricing.

    I dont have any idea about the skill they have for rust/body work and paint, but I saw a few cars they had personally and from that it looked like great work.
    Its tough to give recommendations on any shop, Id say be sure anything you do get in writing, understand exactly what you will pay and be sure to understand what your expected results will be.
    I can say if your Mach has original paint on the car that you will need to remove all that paint if you go with a Base Coat clear coat. That can add a few thousand to the job.
    Quotes on mine have been between 6000-8500 and I have no rust.

    thanks Joe.
    the paint is not original. i was told the car was painted about 6 years ago. there is some rust (bubbling paint) on the rear wheel ares. also some clear coat bubbling. some dents where the car was hit by a little gril on a bike. argh. it wont be until spring when i can get the work done.

    I would check out Joe Reitz at Reitz Restorations, he has done paint work on my car and it came out perfect (paint is 17 years old on my 66). Joe knows Mustangs and works on early and late cars (has been doing a lot of hail repair for our club members). You can go to his shop at any time and see cars in restoration and repair. Joe put in a new windshield for me last Friday, there was a little surface rust under the seal that he fixed and primed, used a US made rubber seal and Mastik sealant. Joe is a member of Wild West Mustangs, we do our tech days at his shop monthy and he does a lot of free work for us. You should at least check him out. As a note, a fellow Mustang owner went to the Mustang Service Center for 66 quarter windows, the job was poorly done, and he had to make repairs to their work when he got home...I don't recommend them.

    One more thing.....does mechanical work too, but paint and body is his specialty. His prices are reasonable.

    You can try Drew Brothers Custom as they are restoring a 70 Chevelle for me right now and I've seen their work is great. They have several restorations of old cars being done right now.
