1972 442 Convertible - Partial floor plan replacement

Hi All. Looking for a good shop to replace a section of floor pan in my 72. I'm having a hell of a time finding a body shop that will do it. Either they have no interest in that type of work, or they want to do a $60k restoration. I live in Dyer, Indiana(30 miles south of Chicago), so I'm looking for something in a 1 hour radius drive time.

Any recommendations?

I'm sure there are some independent welders out there that can do this, ask around other car guys in your area.

Great suggestion. That was the very first thing I did.

Yep. I reached out to them. They focus on complete restorations. About a 1 year wait.
