Location: Victoria, BC, on Vancouver Island, Canada		Hi Don, welcome to the Forum. Do you have a preference as to where? I would recommend Fenders and Fins in Woodinville WA, for body work, http://fendersandfins.com/ and JC Auto Restoration in the same area, for mechanicals, instruments, electricals and such http://jcauto.com/

I've known both these guys for over 30 years. The owners, Jon Carson of Fenders and Fins, and Jeff Carter of JC Auto are both dedicated Forward Look guys and their work is of the highest quality. They also both own multiple Forward Look vehicles.

Where are you located? Smitty's Classic Cars (Bob Schmidt) in Branson, MO is tops! Problem is he's so booked that it would probably be two years or so before yours would be finished if we (I work for him) started today if you wanted a Barrett-Jackson quality restoration done. A good driver would be much less time and money. Basically depends on how much you are willing to spend. Keep in mind these restorations are not cheap.

Benny Buckner in Princeton, West Virginia if you're on the east coast.
He's very knowledgeable about these cars and a good person in general.
You can see some of his work (and his personal '57 Dodge convertible at www.bennybuckner.com).
(304) 920-1422

It may be to your benefit as well, he has acres of cars that should keep your parts costs lower, versus paying someone else a finders fee.

Thank you guys so much. I appreciate these recommendations
I'll start to contact these and any others that might come along.
I only just found out about the forum, and real glad I did. Thanks to a guy by the name of Bernie.
I need a few parts to complete these cars too.
Anyone have a line on power window motors and regulators for a 59 Dodge?
And I need a power bench seat for a 58 2 door hardtop?
And I need other parts to, but those I think are the most critical for now.
Don
