Hi guys, thanks for the responses. I did try Google, both for local car restoring shops and for owners clubs but nothing significant turned up, although I was not searching for street rod clubs as was suggested. I was looking for ford owners clubs and for some reason that kept turning up a lot of results in the UK. I will have a second look using different terms and will try both racers inc and the nsra fellows pages. the other issue is that my dad was looking for someone willing to do the work at our house as the car is pretty immobile, but if i find a good shop maybe we can tow it there. Thanks again guys!
