You have a very good one mentioned. Mike at Spotlight in GA is VERY good... worth the ~350 mile drive or transport. Just get on his list, last time I talked to him, he was at about 11 mo out.
I have heard of a guy in Ocala also, but when doing some research with another forum member, we found that that shop actually only completed one or two and when we looked close at the photos they had posted, the shop was a disaster and the photos of the cars were not much better.

Agree about what I have seen from Spotlight in pics at least. Stunning work.

Complete Kit pickup 09/05/2015, 351w, QF680, 3.55, 3-Link, 15" Halibrands with MT's, Painted Viking blue with Wimbledon white stripes on 03/15/2017. Sold in 08/2018 and totally regret it.
Copy all. I've seen the pix from guys who've gone to Spotlight. Top-notch stuff. Just doing my due diligence on someone local. Mr. Kleiner is also on my short list, but IN is a haul.
I'll give Mike at Spotlight a call. 11 months out should work pretty well for my current build pace.
And I'll probably be calling Mr BadAsp427 for a transport as well if he's still doing that in 11 months.
