They do some very very nice stuff, but be prepared to PAY! You get what you pay for...not a bad thing..just the facts!

Everything I've seen done by him is first rate. I don't think he does it cheap though.

how deep are you going with this truck,rip down start from the frame ,blow the body apart 'strip down old paint to bare metal,Doze it need patch panels welded in,a job like that starts of at about $10,000 thats just the body to paint process.Than your door seals and crome replating, and glass ,attention to detail is big bucks.if your going for a quick splash and dash mask every thing up, enamel paint about $5000.

Egberts is a custom resto shop. You wont get a resto under 20 g's. I knew a guy who worked there, one old rod was still being welded and had the driveline allready done when I saw it. 120 G's into it and no filer yet. Good work back then which was about 15 yrs ago.
