Hi guys
So my builder is slowing down on my build and he can hardly support himself. He has been stalling on the build and nothing much been done. Any of you guys know if the is a builder in the San Francisco area that could help me finish the job? Paint is done and needs buffing, motor needs some stuff, brake and fuel lines, install all interior. Any leads are much appreciated.
Sounds like he is in $$$ problems, talk to him & get your stuff out of there before it's to late. :Twocents:.

wish you were closer
Many years ago I got burned on a restoration project by a shop that ended up in financial difficulty & I lost thousands of dollars. After months of pushing the guy who was laying off his workers left & right, I went to a lawyer who told me the same thing 69rtse4spd said, "GET YOUR STUFF OUT OF THERE ASAP! even if you have to go there with a flat bed towing company.
In my case my car was still drivable so I removed the car that same week, but some replacement parts were missing. Less than two weeks later the fire department closed him down for multiple violations that were never corrected & he never reopened the shop. There were dozens of cars in the building including an old E-Type Jaguar, SS Nova convertible, a Mercedes from the 1950's, an early 60's Chryser 300 & a few other classics. All those cars went into the storage yard of another body shop behind a fence & sat for months in litigation & accumulated storage fees from that shop.
Sorry I can't help recommend anyone being 3000 miles away, good luck.
I'd recommend American Customs and Classics in Hollister. They restored my brothers '67 Catalina convertible, and it turned out fantastic. They are not the least expensive around but I can vouch for their work. Here is their https://www.facebook.com/AmericanCustomsClassics (https://www.facebook.com/AmericanCustomsClassics) page.

Shipping maybe worth it if there is a lot left to do. But if the car is close to being done, may just have to interview the local shops. Just get everything in writing.
