Default Aluminum body work

Anybody know of a good shop/person experienced in aluminum bodywork in the Southeast US? would prefer in Fl, but will travel if necessary. Also, does anyone know anyone who will insure just the body/chassis while it is in someone else's care and control???

I'm sure Arizona is too far for you and I can't speak for the rest of their work but a customer of mine had a car built by The Creative Workshop in Florida that I've done some service work on.

http://www.thecreativeworkshop.com/index.htm

The car is called The Sport Speciale. The body is hand formed aluminum and the car is true work of art. You might want to check with them.

Thanks for the leads guys.
Jamo: Local Jag dealer led me to a shop in Orlando. Sent them pics, they said they couldn't do it.
427 Charlie: I checked out the Creative workshops web site and discernd that their prices are stratospheric, and that Mr Weir looks at "replicas" with distain
Vinny: I'll call the place in Alabaster on tues.
Swanny80: thanks anyway.

Maybe I missed something? Is your Kirkham smashed? If yes just send it to Kirkham it will be cheaper in the long run and will be right and better than it was new. Good luck.
