George's Restoration

I can't say enough about George Gelegonya and the type of high quality work he has done on my 1968 Mercury Cougar. He has had my car at his shop for more than 2 years. He has been extremely patient with my pay schedule, and very fair on what he has charged me for his work. The body work is excellent and I a'm looking forward to when the car is finally finished. If you are looking for a body shop for your classic ride to be restored or just fixing a dent in your daily driver, George's Restoration will provide whatever you need for a fair price to go along with excellent work.

George restored my 1968 Mustang allowing me to help with the stripping and sanding of the car. That is where I learned how much work it takes to stabilize what is outwardly a car body in fair to good condition. He is a patient practitioner and does not forget any discussions about the scope of work and the degree of restoration. I found him fair, reasonable, and very good. The restoration cost more that i thought it would and that is because there were more problems discovered in the process than could be seen before starting. My mustang is now newly painted and rust free. The cost was a low five figures--more than I anticipated--but now I have something of value. George does good work to the budget you provide, but old paint hides a lot of problem that always cost more than you "guest

George has done work for me since 1995; he took my '56 F100 Street Rod truck to bare metal, repaired extensive rust and restored the truck to show condition. More recently, he performed similar work taking my '36 Packard coupe to bare metal and restoring it to show condition, also. he is an ethical, concientious, honest tradesman who will always tell you your project costs as accurately as possible when doing work on any vehicle. Given the nature of his work, costs will fluctuate depending on what is found under coats of paint, misaligned body parts, and the like. He will be working on my third project, later this fall. Please feel free to contact me, should you have any questions. Ralph Robert Smith, North Wales PA.

I have been dealing with George for several years now and cant say enough good things about his work. He's knowledgeable, fair, and honest. I have been to several other so called restoration guys/shops and all they did was keep my car and take a lot of my money. My 67 barracuda project started 5 years ago with several other shops before I took my car to George 2 years ago, I also brought him my 71 vw bus and mt 67 mustang convertible. He has been very flexible as to which ones were worked on as per my standards. The bus was completed and sold. Now I am focusing on the barracuda. Here is what I learned along the way. Don't take restoration to a body shop they will do it when they have free time and they never have free time. I had finally thought I found someone good, had them do a lot of

George is THE MAN when it comes to rust repair, paint and body work! I've had 3 cars fully restored by him and I'm sending 3 more for restoration!! Best around!!!
