    Hi all

    Searched and saw a few several year old thread, so thought I would ask:
    i'm looking for some one to 1. straighten door trim and 2. hammer out a dented fender skirt.

    Anyone know a good place to contact, would prefer to keep it in the HAMB family, but if not any recommendations would be appreciated.

    I am in the process of learning some basic metal working, but until I know what the hell I'm doing would rather have a pro do it... maybe watch and learn a few things...

    Cheers!
    BRAD

    There was a guy named wade that had a side business inside mercury charlies shop a few years ago that did amazing stainless trim repair and polishing. He may still be there,not sure. But I'd guess he'd be your guy on the trim. I'm sure Charlie could hanlde your other stuff.

    man Mercury Charlie just completely slipped my mind.. nice idea.. I'll also see if I can contact Bob Bleed
     
  6. Bob is at the Austin Speed Shop and probably pretty easy to find. I have seen some of Jesse's fabrication and sheet metal work and while he does a good job he is not the reason that I would go to the Austin Speed Shop they have been doing top notch work for a very long time and the shop is full of excellent craftsmen.

    I do not believ that you would be disatisfied with thier work no matter who actually does it.
