Does anyone have any leads regarding anyone who is good at channel work within a few hours of me? I live in Bangor PA, 18013.

I have been in contact with no less then 5 leads and they have all ghosted me or flat out said no. I am ready to throw in the towel. My chassis will be almost done, new pans, I just need someone to weld and line up new channels on the body and lay on pan. Some minor quarter rust will need to be cut out as well. It's pretty typical for someone who is used to the work, it's just out of my skillset.

Any help is appreciated!

Hot Rod Shops can do it if you provide the parts.

I called a few here but they pretty much laugh at me when I say I have a bug. Really looking for someone who has had some work done at a specific place so I know they understand what goes into heater channels and aligning the pan. I am in a rural area so there just isn't many options, mainly word of mouth.

If nobody in your area is willing to do it, maybe open up the search area. You may need to put it on a truck and send it out.
