Default Ohio Body Shop Needed - To Return 1930 Roadster Body back to Stock

Hello All:

I'm attempting to take a 1930 Roadster body that was heavily hot rodded back in the 1950's and return it to stock configuration.

The subrails and all substructure were removed (car was channeled), the firewall was cut for a V8, door handles were shaved, and other similar modifications. The cowl, gas tank, doors, quarters, rumble lid, etc. are extremely solid, which is why I'm trying to bring this one back.

I've located all of the missing pieces, but body work is not my thing! I stick to the mechanical side of things whenever possible.

Anyone have a recommendation for a body shop (or maybe an experienced individual) in Northeast Ohio experienced in restoring Model A's? I want it to look stock, but I'm not necessarily going to insist that 100% of everything is riveted, although I would like a few of the visible brackets to be rivieted, if possible.

I have a couple decent body shops in mind, but they don't generally work on Model A's and I was hoping to find someone already familiar with body construction, since my Roadster is currently in pieces.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I'll see if I can post some pictures of the progress once I can find someone to do the work.

Thanks,

-Jeff
