I've never heard anything but good about their work, but as 67 says, pricey. thought they were more known for doing true "Classics" but i guess with the way the musclecar market has gone, they've likely had a lot more of those come their way.

You may want to try Old Stillwater Garage in Stillwater. 1st class work and owned by Lou Calasibetta, a real Pontiac person.

Question Hibernia

My situation is my 66 GTO is an older restoration some debris fell on the drivers side causing quite a bit of damage. My insurance (Grundy) gave me a small amount up front with the premise of bringing it to a shop and they will negotiate with them. I am just looking to get was what was damaged repaired, not a restoration???

I was quoted $95 per hour. Thought it a little steep.

You can try Nostalgia Motors in Boonton. I've seen a 65, 66 and 67 done there and they came out nice. Speak to Bob.

No motors, I do bodies at a restoration shop. Motors are not done in house.
