body and interior Elhot Metal Fabrication In Seattle

[plape]

Anyone here used them?

I need someone to weld in body panels (nose and roof), daily driver quality, but not a lot of folks willing to tackle a 2002 situation. Thinking I would do it myself, but so far 6 years have passed and I'm not getting anywhere.

 

 

Advice or suggestions welcome.

I used Racecraft in Woodinville.  Lots of 2002 experience--talk to Terry.

I hear good stuff about Racecraft as well.

I decided to go with Elhot to do some rust repair. I liked the shop and quality of work I saw. Elliot currently has an early Porsche 356 convertible, a 911 and a MGB in the shop--the 356 is badly rusted and everything has to be custom fabbed, which is his specialty. I thought the presence of porches would mean sky-high rates, but his rates are reasonable, and the shop is conveniently located in S Lake Union (right near where Autosport used to be). He is dealing with rust around my sunroof, plus rusted/dented nose section and other rust spots as we encounter them--all cutting and welding in new metal. I'll post photos when he completes things. If you need some body work, check him out. Definitely call him first--the shop has no sign and is tricky to find (in the basement under Cosmopolitan Motors, but you enter though a back alleyway).

I wonder if that's my grandpas old 356... It was rusty last I saw it

I decided to start a project blog, to force myself to document the bodywork. Elliot at Elhot has been great and we are making lots of progress:
