Default Looking For Coachbuilder Mark Gerisch

Does anyone have any contact info for Mark Gerisch? Everything I've tried so far has been a dead end. If anyone has current contact info, I would sure appreciate it!

Last I knew was:

GENADDI DESIGN GROUP, INC.

(920) 682-4999

2814 Wollmer St. Manitowoc, Wisconsin 54220 , USA

I met Mark in 85 at SAAC Dearborn when he was finishing Jay's Cobra. Jay was there and was to pick it up shortly after.

Thanks but tried that and it's now dead. May have found him on Facebook though. Just waiting to see if it pans out.
I should have looked there first!

Yes, thats him! AA Metal Shaping looks to be his current occupation. I'll send him an email.
Appreciate it much, thank you!

Larry you should be able to reach Mark at the link Sundude posted. There is a book that came out last year called Sheet Metal Fab for Car Builders by William H. Longyard. In that book I did a chapter on how I built the cowl on my Daytona coupe. I assume you are trying to get in touch with Mark Gerisch for his cobra panel making skills. In the same book Mark did some chapters on building Cobra panels and frame support tubing for the hood trunk and doors. I think you would enjoy the book.

I don't know Mark. That book may lead to more obsession on my part and reduce my already taxed free time! That's all I need!

OK, you've convinced me. Now I have to have it!
Thanks!
Larry

Larry Longyard also has another new book out. It is on power hammers. I do not have this book but I think Mark Gerish is in this book. Mark is an expert on the power hammer. I would show more work on cobra panels.

AA Metal Shaping had a display at the BRIC (Road America) in July. They were pounding out a Cobra body. I had saved the magazine article on the building of Jay Lenos Cobra for years, it was lost in a move. Does anyone have it? Good article on what I thought was an amazing car, the first aluminum replica.
