A gentleman named Percy Adler, in the 'near Toronto' region of Canada, is
expert at fabricating aluminium bodies, frames etc. i know this only
because I was at his shop one time and he was creating from scratch an
exact replica of an AC Cobra, including all of the body. I don't know
how to reach him, but could find out if you wanted.
