Wow, sounds like you have something special. Can't help with any recommendations for shops in Northern Ontario but I wish you well with your project and looking forward to seeing it coming together. Welcome aboard.

That sounds like a good one to restore. Would enjoy seeing pics of what you're starting with and pics of it progressing. Good luck!

Dez's Paint Shop in Greely just outside Ottawa. Dez encourages owners to be an active part of the restoration. He has been in business for more than 30 years very reputable. He has done several major restorations for me including a frame off 69 Indy Pace car and all the work on my current 4000 mile all original 72 Vette. Good luck Dave

Yes some pictures would be great. Can you be a little more precise as to where in Northern Ontario you are. Might make the choice of shops a little easier for all.

This sounds like quite the adventure, owning for 43 years and about to restore it. Is it a cosmetic or mechancial restoration you want to do? Saw a car the other day that had been parked for a long time, it was put away properly and frankly looked pretty darn good, just needed the mechanicals gone over.

Best of luck with it. Hope we can help.

Sounds Like an exciting project having owed it for so long. Looking forward to a few pictures hopefully a few from back in the day!

Willing to travel 700 km from sault ste marie, could possible run it where ever or I have a enclosed car hauler, it is pretty rough as it was used as a hummer back in the day. The engine is original, I did the body my self 42 years ago, disco paint job with air craft paint (imoron?) Both quarters. Used two 454's blew them up street racing, rebuilt and put the original engine back in. The whole car should be gone over.

That is used as a hammer.

WOW! Definitely worth restoring - good luck with the project and finding a reputable restorer. There is one north of Toronto - can't remember name - on Speed Channel - good place to start.
