Motion used a few different body/paint shops.
Gary The Local Brush did work for Motion for many years and I know he did the the graphics on my 87 Motion Monte Carlo SS.
What was the name of Buttafucco's shop?

I believe Cap Butafucco was the father of Joey and his brother who painted the Motion cars, Joey is no longer involved, and the other remaining brother sold the shop to a national franchise, to the best of my knowledge

This is all more interesting history that adds to the Mystique of the Motion cars.
Thanks,
