Who runs a hot rod shop in the IOWA, WISCONSIN, MINNESOTA area?

Changing jobs left me without a stall to work on and finish my model a. I have a few things that need to be tied up before it will be roadworthy.

I'm seeking out a shop that can do 1-2 full weeks of work for me, in the near future.

Let me know, email or pm.

 

PM titus

 

This^^^

 

Tim Gangle and crew at http://www.hotrodhardware.com are just west of Rochester.
Titus is in the cities.

 

Tom Fritz at ccrod.com is near the Twin Cities.

 

thanks for the suggestions, anyone else?

 

The hotrodhardware guys are pretty nice

 

Kurt Senescall is up in Blaine

 

pm sent

 

Have you picked up a hardcopy of Hemming's Motor News yet? The "services offered" section is FULL of shops.

 

Is the shop in racine still open?

I think it was bills
Or bobs street rods

 

What kind of work do you need done? I have a couple shops in mind, but want to make the right recommendation.

yeah what kind of services are you after ? paint and body , mechanical , electrical ? etc. looking for a full range shop ? or just certain things that need to be performed

 

Car is a 31 model a, car is unchopped, channeled width of frame, traditional front end, ladder bar rear suspension.
I'd consider it about 85 percent complete to driver status. Some things that need to be done...
Headlights mounted
Radiator mounted
Grill shell mounted
Fuel line ran
Brake line from master cylinder to front drum brakes ran
Motor and gauges have been wired.. Need wiring completed to headlights, and taillights, maybe some other misc wires ran
Floor is only tacked together. I need it fully welded, and piece of 18 guage for the driveshaft tunnel bent and welded in
It has a crate motor (sbc) that is all together, but has not been fired. . I need new plug wires cut crimped and wired.
One problem that has haunted me the whole build is the frame possibly being high on one side, (left to right)
Fluids filled in rear end, tranny, and motor, driveshaft bolted in…
Suspension alignment needs to be done.
That is the basics of what needs to be done. The car has sat for the last 6-8 months because I changed jobs, and the landlord is very strict on doing any work out of my rented garage unit.

Notice there are 10 pages of pictures in the first link.
I would like the car to be roadworthy, I would like to work out the bugs myself.

 

Thanks Casey, you are a gentlemen and a lady!

As Casey has mentioned, have a "shop" in South Milwaukee, I can work on your car, PM me or call 744-5420.
You can visit the shop.
Sincerely,
Cheatercarl

RCNut,

DO you mean "Rod's Plus"? it was on the frontage road by I-94, before that it was on Golf road for a while & before that in Sturttevant or however you spell it.

It was owned by BOB FRANK, he now works for JW Rod Garage in Belgium, WI. Good parts, good prices, Bob is a really nice fellow & great open mouth kisser.

Sincerely,
Cheatercarl
