Default Restored Classic Bodies (KC, MO)

Anyone have any experience with this company or there work? I took a gamble on buying what i thought was a decent car and after blasting it and getting an estimate from a body shop, it looks like i lost my ass on that gamble. Now I am looking at purchasing a finished rolling body from Restored Classic Bodies out of kansas city. (http://www.restoredclassicbodies.com Thanks in advance for any input.

Jimmy

I live in KC and have been in and around the classic muscle car scene for 20 years...and I've never heard of them before.

I'll ask around a bit and see what I can find out.

The link posted in the top post doesn't work for me. I found this one. Apparently Mizfit is now the parent company, and only did engines. RCB does it all. Check it out...

They have a video of their process on the web site. Sounds like you could have them refurbish your body.

On their about page I like the fact that three of the techs are WyoTech graduates and one from Salina Tech which I also know is a good school.
