Okay, put up a post a few days ago about photo chopping my '40 ponitac coupe, now I'm wondering if anyone knows some shops around the greater san francisco bay area that I could talk to? I would like somewhat of a small low key shop, I'd be interested in working on the porject as well, I'm a fabricator and mechanic by trade, but I know this is a bit over my head but would love the opportunity to learn about it first hand. Hope to hear some ideas, Any input is appreciated.
ya might give this a try.........he is out in east contra costa county. http://www.jerrysezar.com/Jerry Sezar Bio.htm
Ok, I know you said Bay area, but I hafta put in a plug for my friends at Roseville Rod & Custom (Sacramento suburb) 916-784-3931 Super nice, laid back attitude, excellent metal shaping, machinist and chasis building skills. What more do ya want?
Yeah, Brandon from Jerry Sezar's sent me a PM, sounds like a cool thing going on there, anyone else know anything about it?
There's a guy in Napa named Kevin Gallagher. He's got a small shop, traditional rods etc., When I stopped by he was chopping a Model A coupe. Seems like a pretty cool guy. Sorry, I dont Have a #. PM me if you want driving instructions.
Give Ferrari's Hot Rod Shop in Sacramento (just down the street from Vintage Ford) a call. (916) 858-1952. Small shop - does excellent metal work.
Kevin over in Napa is a really good guy. I have a # for him if you send me a pm. there is also a shop in Santa Rosa that would be good at this chop. good metal shaper. same thing pm for # Also after seeing the chop on kirks 47 ford and big dirties coupe I would have to recommend the guys in gilroy, I think one of the guys is Eric Limones. check with kirk. They obviously know what they are doing. where in sonoma county are you? good luck.
Yep Gilroy Chop Shop is the shit! Thay did most of the work on my '47. They're only $35 and hour too. That's like a quarter of what other shops charge. get in there while they're still cheap! PM me if you want Eric's number.
The guys over at Blue Collar Customs in Sacramento do really good work. Scott is on here somewhere...
Give John Aiello of Aiello Customs a call in Pacheco: (510)332-4256 He's a low-key guy and he works by himself along with 1 or 2 guys that occasionally help him out. His shop is so low-key, he doesn't have a sign out front! His work is top notch tho. Not sure how much he'd be willing to work with you on your top but I know he's cool enough that you could discuss it with him.
