I took my 1969 Roadrunner to Le Hodge and that was a mistake, this is how he restored my car.
Vinyl top had bubbles in it, he told me to wait till warm weather and I could rub them out.
He attempted to fix my brakes 3 times and charged me three times, and the third time they were horrible, he told me to pop the car in neutral and then apply the brakes
the carpet had great big puffed up areas, where he just threw it in and bolted the seats down on top of it
he installed my dash and it had big gashes where he pried on it real hard and he said all of them that he installed looked like that.
I have a 383 with a nice came in it with 516 heads, he took my Holly 850 off and put a tiny edelbrock on it till you had to pat the gas feed for 5 minutes before it would even start.
he removed my chrome valve covers and when he reinstalled them he over tightened and it dumped a lot of oil out on my garage floor.
I had purchased NOS emblems and he said mine would not fit that he could get the correct ones for $500 plus installation for my car, I said no, I put my emblems on they fit.
I had a mirror that you could adjust from the inside of the car, he welded up the hole for the correct mirror and installed a aftermarket one on my car, and never gave me my correct mirror back.
the paint job was like he painted it in a dust storm, it had little bumps all over it.
When I went to pick my car up which I had paid the entire invoice and two of the large checks was tax free for Le because they were made out to him not his company, the car was covered in dirt, leaves and bird doo, and he told me I had to pay him $3000 more to get my car. I got my car and then proved with cancelled checks that I did not owe him the $3000, 6 months later he text me and said I was right, but he still would not give me my $3000 he owed me, 415 days later he gave me a invoice instead of the money he owed me.
He also kept over $750 worth of parts that he said he probably put on other peoples cars. I was never reimbursed for those
On my engine Le Hodge also removed all my performance parts and replaced with generic Advance Auto parts.
After all that would you want him to work on your car? I will let you answer that.
When I first asked Le Hodge for a estimate on fixing my car, he said $20000, it surpassed that in two checks, which were tax free for him, and when I said well I guess I'm paid he said no, that $20000 was just for labor cost, but in the end that was also wrong the labor surpassed $20000
