I’m north of Philly. Don’t have nearly the skill level for this.

Did some internet research and found a couple of places that might work - Ragtops and Roadsters is pretty near me. There is another one called Lipincott’s in Sinking Spring. Does anyone have experience with these?

I am also willing to go further out or into another state for the right type of expertise.

 

Hi,

I realize your post is several months old now, but, thought I'd offer my thoughts, anyway. Lipincott has a very good reputation. Have you heard of Monocoque Metals in Northeast, MD? They may be of help.

 

Ken,

I'm in both the DC area club and the Shenandoah Valley Club and I would second the reference to Gassman in Waynesboro, Va. Also, these folks who are a bit east of Winchester, Va. like Gassman not all that far from I-81, also have a very good reputation: https://whitepost.com/#hometop ... if the link doesn't work, just look up White Post auto restoration and you should find it.

 

Probably a "one Hit" wonder?

 

Do you have personal experience with them?

 

I have known Mike for 40 years and have had much experience with him.He is very fair,charges a low hourly rate for the quality and quickness of their work.His cars have won nearly any concours they have been entered in.They have done many E types,Ac’s,120’s,140’s,150’s,etcGive him a call or better yet a visit to his shop,it will be very worthwhile and may be of great benefit to both you and your car

If I recall, a car Gassman prepared won a Pebble Beach concourse a few years ago. Don’t recall the type of vehicle though it wasn’t a Jag. But Pebble Beach ain’t chopped liver!

 

Thanks for the intel. My experience with 3 "restorers" has not been great. I'll try them.
