So I've been thinking about restoring my car so it's better than it was new. PLan was to do it everything myself but it will take too long :)
Right now I've patched up rust holes to the best I can.. and it's going ok. I think I could do better job if I re-did it. But at this rate it would take me forever to get it to state where it's ready for paint (lazy and I live 2 hours away from where I keep my car)

This is my progress, since then I bought some weldable primer so I can actually start welding up and hopefully get this done within week or two. After that it's just surface rust on the body so I think I'll just look around for a shop to do the rest.

My question is, are there any local shops capable of doing a restoration on a DSM? I would like to use chemical stripping and electrostatic primer (~$2500 alone) to remove any rust on the body and any parts that come off, new bolts everywhere, etc.

I live around Kalamazoo and my car is in South Lyon (near Detroit) so I guess any shop between the two cities would be under consideration.
 
Just bumping this up because I don't feel like writing new thread. Work is keeping me busy and too tired to try to work on this. I'd like to get this POS on the road again :)

Any feedback on International Paint Stripping in Romulus? IIRC Kiggly used them, but since then I've read some mixed reviews on muscle car sites.
