Please share comments about Mopar restoration shops

I have been watching Graveyard Carz since the first show. And a long-time member here at FABO - Cuda Dad - has had Mark Worman restoring his 69 A-57 Cuda for the last NINE YEARS. It appears that GYC's now has the car finished. Nine years is a LONG time to wait for a car to be restored.

There is another "famous" mopar restoration guy on the East Coast named "Julius" - i think he bills his business as "Mopars by Julius." Does anyone know anything about that shop? I would love to hear a discussion of any mopar restoration shops FABO members know about and if they have had any experiences with the shops. It seems to me that a shop should be able to do a complete tear-down and restoration of any mopar in a year. I restored one of my 68 Barracudas by myself in my home garage in a year. I would think a body shop would be able to do a car in a year.

Please share any experiences you've had with a mopar shop. I have two cars that I would consider sending to a shop if I could find one that was reasonable in time and price.

Julius was in Los Angeles area. But now in Texas. Close friend for 30+ years.

He does cars much quicker than Worman. I do know a guy that got a 69 Hemi RR conv done and GYC and brought it to a show next to a Hemi conv that Julius did and that owner said he should have gone to Julius.

People get caught up in the TV deal. You’re paying extra for that. Mike Mancini is closer to you and top notch too.
