My friend has a 70 Charger restomod and the parts to do a Daytona conversion. He is looking for a competent shop to do the conversion. He is in Connecticut so something in the northeast is preferable,but he would not rule out a competent shop versed in wingcars elsewhere. This would be a nice relatively clean job on an already finished car,no rot or rust repair or panel replacement required. A great winter job for any shop. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Mike Mancini’s American Muscle Car Restoration in Rhode island. GYC’s sent my car there to fix all the problems it came home with. Also does Dash rehabs.

A friend stopped in there a couple weeks ago & he's got a 2-3 year backlog of work.

Another vote for American Musclecar Restorations. They did a close friends Duster and they painted the dash for me on my old 68 Charger. Great people doing exceptional work.

Hopefully we can find a shop somewhat local who wants a nice winter project. The car and parts are in hand and he is a paying customer.
