I know he is notorious for being a wealthy ***** *the body shop owner drives a Ford GT* but his work is notorious for being top notch, check out Body by Mule' in Yardville, NJ on rt. 130 in central jersey.

There is a place in Hillsborough, RPM Resto and Custom. They do everything from regular paint touch up work to full on custom and restorations. The owner has an amazing IROC that has been in a few magazines.

Their prices are good and the work is second to none.

He is a 02 ss owner, does great work and backs it up, did many new and old cars and tons of bikes . Work looks better then factory, uses a very nice down draft booth also.
He is in lansdale , about 50 miles n of philly

I am sending him my formula to him this winter
