My Dad recently passed away. He had a shop where he restored cars/trucks and built hotrods. My brother and I are trying to help some of his customers out. They are left with unfinished cars that Dad had started and they want to know where they can take their cars to get them finished. These are not millionares but common country folks. Dad's shop is in North Central Nebraska- Atkinson. I'm sure these guys would be willing to travel within reason. Can anyone give me some contact info of some possible shops? Any HAMBers want to take on a project for some extra money?Dad did very good work so you could just take over where he left off. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Brad
sorry no help with shops but ill send this back to the top. small world,my grandma lives in Atkinsonand ive got a ton of family in oneil, tim
Hey it is a small world. My brother lives by Lincoln now. We grew up in Atkinson and went to church in O'Neill. I got in a lot of street races in O'Neill when I was in high school. Good times...good times... Brad
Hey Brad, sorry I don't have any help, but I think there is a rod shop in Sioux City. Look up Professional Exhaust there in Sioux City, it's owned by Bob Owens, I know he has a few rods around. He did a little exhaust work for me when I lived up there as well. Worth a shot at least. If nothing else, back to the top for ya.
Brad, the number to Professional Exhaust is (712) 255-0004 Bob is the owner, he might at least have some info on local rod shops for you. Hope this helps. If not, I might have some contacts here in Iowa that I can check on, it just depends on how far people want to drive.
"The Body Shop" is in Grand Island, Gary Gerberding has been doing rods and kustoms for years...I'd bet Dex or phone information can get you his number... R-
