I am trying to find a reasonably priced restoration expert for my 49 Olds Rocket 88 here in the Valencia, CA area (near L.A.). I would even be willing to ship the car to the right person. I want someone who does the work in his shop, not a middle man who charges a premium to find people to do the work. I am getting ridiculous quotes from guys who only take the car and broker the work out. So far it woud cost more than the car is worth with the quotes I am getting!

I want an honest guy who needs the work and will work with me on this without charging me an arm and a leg to get this done. Thanks for any help.
