1968 Barracuda Notch - Plano, TX

Clair - Apparently quite a few of the local Chevy guys take their cars there for the full pro tour treatment. Corvette front suspension, DSE 4 link, 5 or 6 speed transmissions, etcetera. A guy who had his '67 Camaro done there recommended him to me.

I have known Rodney for a few years, did not know his shop did body and paint until a week ago. He has a private shop on the property about 100 yards from the business where he and some of the local Mopar guys hang out on Thursday nights. I have been there a few times, never been in the shop before.

All outside work and parts you pay the amount he paid w/ no mark up, he just puts the receipt in your folder for you. You pay for the labor and he tracks that by day in the folder as well. No hidden charges or funny business. No quotes, for better or worse, you just pay for the time and materials. The only complaint I have heard was from someone who spent more than they expected to. That really doesn't surprise me. The guy with the Camaro is really happy with the work that was done and had no complaints about time or billing. Timeline is really up to you. One '68 Camaro Convertible I saw there had been there a year and was ready for final primer and will be doing paint soon. The car had about 7 weeks of labor done over the past year as the owner was able to pay. Rodney showed me the timeline and all the billing. Probably one of the most straightforward shops I have talked to. Guess we will see soon.

I will update w/ photos and reports along the way. There are two cars in front of me, but, if they stop or finish, then my car gets worked on, so it may move ahead in queue as the others wait for parts or money.
