I have almost all of the parts that would be needed, but for some of the sheetmetal and the new interior soft parts/weatherstripping.

Any suggestions? Would prefer to stay in the Northeast/Atlantic coast area, or the Midwest.



A friend of mine owns a shop and can help you.

https://www.erlingerrestorations.com/

He is in Arizona, but he also transports customer's cars all over the country.

Since he is in Arizona he has access to a vast supply of rust free parts.


Did he relocate to The St Louis area for a while then
Move back out to Arizona and reopened his shop? If it is the same guy I am thinking he does outstanding work at a reasonable cost.
