Custom paint and body shops in Iowa

[timpdg]

my husband's car (74 Charger) is stored in Iowa and we are looking to get it restored, well, mainly just body work and custom paint. We are looking for a reputible place to get this done. We live in Germany right now and will come back once a year and we would like to take it somewhere and get it worked on and pick it up when we are able to get back. We had it painted about 5 years ago, but we were very disappointed with the work the guy did. It needs quite a bit of body work and a great paint job.
Can anyone help? We are looking for something in the North East corner or the surrounding states nearby. Websites would be great for great shops.
Thanks,
Jen

Hope this info helps you out. This type of work is not cheap or fast. These shops are very passionate about older cars and are very particular about the
quality of their finished product. They are small town shops that have lower
overhead and labor rates. Good luck! Tell them the Mac Man sent you.
