Most restoration shops want to do a show car or nothing at all.
My suggestion: go to the dealership where you buy your everyday cars and have them serviced. If you don't have one go to the Dodge dealer. I guarantee they will be happy to work on it.
Get their body shop to change out the body seals. Get the mechanic shop to do a tune up, install a new battery, new hoses, change the oil in everything and lube it up. Get them to do a brake job and send the cylinders to White Post and have them SS sleeved.
Don't worry about the paint and the oil leaks. Drive it and enjoy it.
If you have trouble with transmission, axle, transfer case, buy a good one from this site and have the dealer change it out.
If you have problems with the engine have the dealer pull it out and send it to any reputable rebuilder.
