Do you mean someone to do the work (i.e., restore a 1961 Hawk you own or are buying) or someone to examine a car you are thinking of buying in the Detroit area? BPWe've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.

If you could post some detailed photos of the suspect areas here, forum members could suggest courses of action, even if it was to conclude the car is beyond restoring and would best be a candidate for parting...or a Serial Number swap to a better "tub."

If you can get a catalogue from Classic Enterprises, you may find everything you need. I used their complete floors, frame to body supports, trunk floor..... I just about ordered everything they make for C/Ks. 18 Gauge stamped to original specs. Put the floors in before you lift a body off the frame. My car was hit and we measured the frame for "square". Luckily it was not out, but it looked weird to me, too. There are lots of pics available on this forum that would show the frame with the body off. Good old Lamonte at Classic Enterprises is a trooper and even coached my body shop over the phone. Worth a look!Dave Warren (Perry Mason by day, Perry Como by night)
