    Thanks for the referrals guys!

    Hes great and I really don't think anyone else on the island is able to handle that type of work correctly. I busted his chops about it last night and he said he planned on stopping by your house next week. All the super talented fabricators are nuts, you have to beg them and be nice the whole time. Painters are divas like that also.

    This is a 996 turbo cage he built recently.

    Eric,
    I'm surprised that you still have the GT4!

    Try Mark Wehrmann Engineering in Hauppauge

    No i sold the Gt4 a while back , Picked up a 98 Diablo SV that was a blast to drive for 2 years, sold it because i needed a family car, so i had a 700 HP Evolution , which i sold too! now i have a family car so i bought this Audi R8 to build.

    Try T&S Motorwerkes in West Babylon. They are the shop the prepares the Magnus Racing Porsches that compete in the TUDOR series.

    They just won the 12 Hours of Sebring. In 2012 the won the 24 Hours of Daytona.

    I spoke to John Bedell, the shop owner today, and he said he could do the work. The shop number is (631) 842-1653.

    Thanks Fred, i spoke to John today, he is a very nice guy and took some time to help me out, He pointed me in a good direction to get my car on a table at the audi shop with the correct jigs that would make the job so much easier and faster but the shop can`t take my car in because of its history( auction car) they are not allowed to work on them. So back to square one , i am about ready to buy a mig or tig and start measureing and fabricateing myself, or i can wait until my friends shop or Bradans friends shop has room for me, the problem is alot of times a shop will say yes i can get you in here in a couple of weeks but that turns into months, sometimes many months.I guess thats how it is with these talented individuals, they are booked solid.If anyone has any other suggestions my ears + eyes are wide open, thanks to all !

    .......................................Thanks Brian, i spoke with Mark, he is a cool dude,works on some radical stuff, he is not really into repairs like this, he did have some good ideas. I visited a few race/ fab. shops in the last 2 weeks, the shop across from Magnus racing were building some highly detailed custom race cars,the workmanship was seriously good,I was impressed, they can fit me in about a 3 month wait.,and the guy had a very good attitude.

    .............................................I called them but they have yet to get back to me , but i did find a great mobile welder that comes to the boat yard ,i will prep all the parts and pieces, do some mock set ups getting everything ready to weld, I am thinking of tack welding everything then sending it to a alignment shop to check it before final welding.

    Haha that's Tim's crazy Porsche.

    Tommy is a good guy and is an excellent fabricator. Definitely a top notch option as well! Good luck on the hunt for a fabricator.

    Hi Eric I've had a lot of specialty welding done on previous projects, not all auto related by a shop in L I, anytime I've been there they always have a few major fab cars in there. It may be worth giving Dom a call 516 579 5131.If they cant help im sure they can send you in the right direction

    ......................................................................................................................Thanks for your reply, its nice that your first post is trying to help a forum member,thats why i originally joined up here on Ferrarichat,the people here usally are here to help, yes Tom is very talented but his shop is full and he is working with Magnus racing too so he is pretty much booked solid , but i will try him again , i think he lost some interest in working on my car, a person can only do so much work., or take in a certain amount of cars .
