Hey Guys,
So I'm going to try a new shop to get some work done. It's called Reasonable Rides and Rods in Lewisville, TX. They specifically work on fully restoring classic cars and building up motors. I dropped my baby off today for some quotes on some work:
1. replace/rebuild steering gear box
2. change differential fluid
3. adjust carb
4. re-vinyl the top (they outsource body/trim work to American Body Works) (thanks forum for helping me decide to not just go with paint)
5. find out my hot start issue
6. replace my starter (already bought a Summit racing one)
7. change throttle cable
Wow, seems like a lot writing it out! Anyway, the shop looks really nice, has a ton of lifts and very awesome muscle cars being worked on (I loved the 69 Cougar Eliminator with the 427) Felt like I was underdressed bringing my 67 Sport Fury in there in less than perfect shape.
Anyway, has anyone used these guys before? No, I don't want to do it myself. I love cars but I'm not good at working on them. What kind of price range does it look like I'm heading for? Under $2k would be nice. He said the vinyl top would only be $300-$400 (not official quote though)
Thanks guys.
