Exclamation In a Bind - Can Anyone Recommend a Good, Affordable Restoration Shop in Northern NJ?

I'm hoping the words "good" and "affordable" are not mutually excusive!

In any event, I had started to have my 73 roadrunner restored by a local shop that had a great reputation. Unfortunately, they recently lost their lease and have decided to go out of business (long story and yes, I'm mad as hell). This leaves me in a major bind since I can no longer drive my bird around to check out other shops. As such, I would like to limit my search to only a few "pre-screened" establishment that are already familiar with restoring mopars.

All the major body work has already been completed but my car needs to be put back together and finished (primed, painted, stripped, etc.).

Can anyone provide me with recommendations? I need to move on this quickly!

Thanks!

What part of North Jersey are you looking in? There are a couple really good shops in the area, but most good places don't come cheap.

Up north by Morristown.....

I'm also down by Elmwood Park a lot so anything in between would be ideal so I can keep an eye on things..

Thx!
