My brother is rebuilding my 65 elCamino in Tigard (a burb of Portland) and is beginning to think the bodywork may be a bit more than what he wants to undertake Looks like it will need a new rear quarter, passenger floor extending into the smugglers box, and possibly a new rear wall (at least the lip on the bottom of the rear glass.)

Anyone have any reccommendations for who might be willing to do this? Not interested in getting in the way in a collision shop, looking for someone who might enjoy the work (and it will pay for your parts, too)

When I was still in Vancouver, WA (just north of Portland), there was a guy that does sheet metal repair/body work on old cars from his home shop. His name is Rob Benko 360-513-0582. His shop is in Vancouver, WA.

have you checked into Metalworks? http://www.metalworksclassics.com/ They will do pretty much anything from small stuff to full on builds.
