I have a 1973 Pontiac Trans Am and am looking for a reputable and responsible shop to complete unfinished restoration. I have all of the parts needed-just need a good shop to finnish what was started. Engine and tranny already done and in car and is mostly cosmetic- interior and paint. Anyone out there with suggestions? Please help!
              
                Thank You,

No good answer here.
 
Few shops are willing to take on a "basket case" where someone has started a restoration.
 
The places that will work on this car are going to charge probably 100.00 dollars per hour. A 1973 Trans Am won't be worth much when it's done so you might want to re-think this.
 
You might ask around to see if someone takes on side projects but be careful who you hire!

Tough situation. Maybe you'll have to break it down into, say, 3 steps (body, interior, mechanical) and get it towed from shop to shop. Probably not one single shop could do it for reasonable $$. You don't want a 'restoration' shop, just a reasonable body shop, interior shop, and a mechanic.
