If you look at some of the other Butler forum posts you'll see that I have some experience with fiberglass repair. This is really going to be dependant on the extent of the damage if there is any. If may just be cracking paint, and the glass if fine. The Butlers are known for being very heavy with fiberglass, so if there are stress cracks, it had to have been hit. Any body shop that works on glass (Corvettes) will be able to repair.

There are also some posts on this forum regarding the huge tunnel and possible modifications. Depending on the transmission, you probably have a lot of room in there. The dash is going to be tough - Ron put some beefy metal in these cars, and the cowl hoop in a good example. On my dash, the wiring for the gauges is hitting the firewall, and the top is against the cowl brace.
