I recently purchaced a 79 spider in great shape. I have had all the mechanicals repaired/replaced and need a restoration of the body and hardware. I live in Maine near Bangor. Anyone know of anybody qualified? thanx

I might be able to help out a little if I knew a little more about what you're looking for. Complete body restoration? Rust repair and a little paint? Parts prep for chrome? Upholstery? If you can be more specific, I might have some ideas.

Bangor? Damn near killed her!

That joke killed when I was stationed at Loring back in 90-92.

Welcome to the forum,

Hey Tony,
Sounds like a restoration job for crazy Dave. George

Hekko,atoothaker,
We have used a small shop in North Eastern PA. Does great work and his prices are reasonable. George

I will be removing the chrome for the body work, any recommendations of what I can do to improve the chrome while it is off? Is there a product or process that can be used? Thanks Mik

Mik,
I'm afraid I won't be much help about the chrome. I was thinking more about the people and places I know around Bangor that could help atoothaker, including the body shop where the owner (at least he owned it last I knew) actually had a spider of his own. I know people who know about this stuff, but I don't personally have the expertise.
