Congrats on an AKL!
Restoration can be costly especially if you need metal work. Don't try to save in the metal body department. If you need body work seek people known for aluminum via SAAC or try the pros like Goeff Howard, McKluskey etc.....and pay the $$$$$
If aluminum is repaired incorrectly it can open back up anytime and then you are back to square #1.
This usually requires an old timer familiar with metals.
If the body is fine you can simply find a shop familiar with Cobras. They should be able to help and can be found on both ends of the country.
Best to you,
Jeff
