Default 1978 Mustang II - Looking for Restoration Shop In Southern California

I've got a 1978 Mustang II from my father I'd like to have restored, engine and body, to original looks. I live in Southern California, near Long Beach, near Anaheim. Anyone have recommendations?

Thanks...

Your best bet is to find a restoration shop that specializes in Mustangs, though even they may not be much help due to the fact that parts are scarce and a lot of shops specialize "only" in 1965-1973 and/or 1979+ Mustangs.

Isn't that annoying? Wouldn't it be nice is a company specialized in II's for a change?

They all say there's not enough of a market. If I had the tooling I'm sure I could stay in business building just the 15 Mustang II items that it seems everyone needs.

(V8 frame and motor mounts, tranny crossmembers, V8 flywheels, dash pads, consoles, front and rear bumpers, door kick panels, aux. fuel tanks, fuel filler hose sets, fuel tank gasket, both V8 bellhousings, and front valances.)
