These guys don’t just do the job — they go above and beyond. I had them work on my 1970 F100 Ford Crown Vic conversion, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The quality, attention to detail, and professionalism they brought to the project were top-notch. On top of that, they’re just an all-around great group of guys — easy to work with, trustworthy, and clearly passionate about what they do. Highly recommend if you want the job done right by people who care. 👏🚗

This was an excessively expensive 3-month long disappointment. I am leaving this review to help classic car owners avoid this place as an option based on the following factors: Specifically, the invoices are convoluted and nearly impossible to interpret, so I didn't really know what I was paying for because I couldn't make sense of them. As far as I can tell, they repetitively charged me for the same hours for the same line items on several occasions. The labor hours accrued were excessive. This is due to one of two factors; they are either lacking the skills to be reasonably proficient or they are price gauging by falsely inflating labor hours. For example, they installed a hydroboost system in my '60 Thunderbird, which seems to work ok so far, but for an installation (when performed by "professionals")that averages 4-6 hours, I was charged $3200 @ $110/hr standard shop rate. They charged the ac (does not blow cold), bled the brakes, tightened up some oil pan hardware, installed some new brake lines, and "fixed" a rear quarter window. Parts were roughly 1K. The total bill was $8500. After 3 months in their shop they broke my driver's door window glass and an aftermarket radio th

The acceptable final results of the engine transplant project performed by the Mercury Charlie's crew was marred by their consistent inability to return phone calls or communicate during the process. Most recently I had a time-critical question for Chris regarding his choice of some engine components. I called early in the week and spoke with owner's daughter Roxie, who assured me Chris would call just as soon as he finished a phone call he was on. 4 days and one additional phone message followup later, I finally got a call at end of day on Friday. By then I had long since given up and just had to make my own decisions without input from Chris. Looking back during the estimated "two week" project which stretched into over 2 months (and final cost some 60% greater than the initially discussed high range), I was reminded that on numerous incidents I NEVER received a return call for messages left either on voice mail or with the receptionist. On the other hand, the finished project was generally completed in a professional and knowledgeable manner. There aren't many shops left that do this kind of work, and I recognize and appreciate that. On the positive side, I'd be remiss i

Moved from California to Texas recently, brought my '70 cobra jet Mustang which was approximately 60% completed. Talked to several shops in the area and was most impressed with Charlie and Will, and decided to go with them to finish my car. Good rates! Extremely friendly and knowledgeable and even allowed me to watch and participate in the process. Their level of communication and responding to any inquiry I had was beyond my level of satisfaction. Very Very pleased with the outcome. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who is searching for a shop to help complete their project. -Mark Weeden and Benjamin Jones
