Hi Dan:
I also own a car that had fabrication work done by Forunutne. I can
ditto JKs remarks.
There are other shops too that will do a goood job for you. I saw a car
at 2006 Barrett-Jackson which was done by a shop out your way. It was a
nicely done Austion Healey.

If you can extend your milage limitation to 619.2 due
north, you could have your metal work done by one of
the most highly rated Healey restorers. Tom Kovacs,
Fourintune, Cedarburg, WI.
I stopped by Tom's shop a few days after after seeing
Healey racers at Elkhart Lake in july. He was gracious
enough to give us the $5 tour. Impressive... several
Healey projects in progress, an XKE, and a DB5. He's
very opinionated about restoration methods and one
thing I found interesting was that he fabricates his
own sill sections using 16ga., which should stiffen
things up nicely.
I recall Bill Woods, of 100S fame, also speaking in
praise of Tom's work.
Anyway... just a thought
Best
