Old car restoration

[drsmile]

So I have an opportunity to acquire a '67 Riviera from the original owners (93yo couple). Its been sitting under a shed for 15 yrs. All original with 80K on the odo.

I will need a shop that can help me pick it up, get it running, new vinyl top, and clear coat it. I want to make a patina car that I can drive to work regularly (don't want a new jelly bean - all cars look like jelly beans now).

Any recommendations in Marietta / Woodstock area?

I know of several guys in this area that could handle a project like this Buick but they're all booked up for many months.
A few years ago I'd take this on myself but ain't gonna happen now

Gotta wonder why it was originally parked.....drive train issues ????
I'd highly recommend looking under that vinyl top for roof/rear window frame rusted thru sheet metal.
Common problem....
Trunk rusted thru ?? Mice get into the wiring ?
Not a high production vehicle...parts are going to be difficult and $$ to find.
