Title: Metal Fabricator In Vancouver Needed
Post by: staceyz on May 02, 2005, 09:54:55 PM

Does anyone know an amazing metal fabricator in Vancouver. I need someone to reproduce the belly pans in my 58 deluxe bus. I want it to look exactly like the originals with same pressings etc...

Let me know if anyone knows of someone... Thanks.. Stacey

The shop where I work can easily reproduce the stampings. If you can wait until late August and understand what things cost, PM me.

There are only 2 different people making the belly pans, and I wasn't happy with the quality of either.

I work at RX Autoworks in N Van. Brutally expensive but top quality. A full Jag E type resto can top $250,000. The crazy thing is we're booked for years in advance. I do all of the paint and most of the bodywork. I'll be painting a 1938 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900 in the next month. Talk about a nail biter..the car is worth over 5 million dollars! I'm already nervous.. :wacko:
