Atlanta Area Restoration Shop
I need input from some Atlanta area Pelicans! I have an early 66 model 911 (302981) that I'm considering having restored. I live about 50 miles north of Atlanta, GA, and would appreciate input on a good shop, preferably on the north side of town. I'm looking for someone who could take a rolling shell that has some minor rust and some old (repaired, but not quite right) collision damage, and return a rust free, straight, painted rolling shell. I can do the interior and mechanical work, but body and paint is not my strong point!
(It's the yellow one in this group picture)

Yeah +1 for Holt. they know old 911s well. You might call Jack Lewis or Franz Blam and see if they recommend anybody in particular for the body work on the older cars. I wonder if Jake Raby does this kind of work? I think I heard he did. The question has been asked many times here who does mechanical and body mods/paint but not a serious resto. I am curious to see what people say.
Thats a nice car, I wonder if it would be worth shipping to one of the recognized shops?

Hmmmmm.....I'm seeing a trend here
 After the Christmas season is behind us and things settle down a bit, I'll probably take the car to John Holt and let him take a look at it. Thanks!
