Default bodywork help??

I have quite the project. I have a nicely restored 62 (or was) that had an engine fire. I have purchased a good complete used firewall and a new shimershimer nose for it. I have come to the realization that this would be quite the challenge for me, and I also have alot going on for the next while (we are adopting a child).

I need someone that is skilled at bodywork and interested in working on this project. Im not looking to make it a show car, just a presentable driver. I am looking to have this done reasonably.

If you are skilled at glass work and interested send me a note.

The work can either be done in my barn or your shop. I am in upton Ma at the junction of 495 and the pike.

Feel fre eto email me at james.f.maloney@us.army.mil

I'm decent at it, but too far away to do anything major.

Yeah that certainly isn't a fun job to do. Contact Paul at the shop below and tell him Brian Day referred you. He is a good friend of mine and has done work on many Corvettes of most generations (including C2 frame offs). He's very skilled and fair. Many forum members have used him with great results.

If anything its worth a phone call. If he's too busy or it doesn't work out I have another friend that does Corvette restorations as a side business.
