Car Shop Recommendation in Austin

Hey guys,

I'm finally able to start putting some parts on my '69 Charger, but I'm looking for a good car shop in Austin, TX in which to do so. 

I've been by a couple shops, some good, some not quite what I'm looking for. 

Anyways, my question is basically:  Does anyone have knowledge of, or first hand experience with, a good car shop in Austin in which I can have some add ons put on my Charger. 

First phase that I'm looking for a shop to do is install odds and ends that can be fairly easy to install (currently have TTI headers, exhaust system, new starter, radiator, etc.).  Next phase would be to have the shop help me in getting the car's body rust free.  Some of the shops I've been to seem to be more interested in a full blown restoration, and not just odds and ends as I buy parts.  But I'm not in a position to spend that kind of cash right now.

Also, wouldn't mind finding a place w/ past Charger restoration experience...but I can understand that b/c of the rarity, that that may be too much to ask for.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Note:  I've been to Jesse James' shop, and they told me that they're not really into muscle cars...however, they loved my brother-in-laws '59 Belair.  Also, I'm looking to stop by International House of Hot Rods sometime this week to see what their shop is like
