I want to replace the rockers on my bus, I may just buy a welder and do it myself, but if there is someone local that can do it reasonably, it would save me the hassle of buying the welder and learning how to weld something so thin. I have some welding experience, but it's all heavier stuff.

Thanks

Sorry for the late reply.

I do know someone who would do it for you. Problem is that he's up here in Athol. One of my neighbors actually. Right now he's building an early Corvette at the Pebble Beach Concours level for a wealthy dude up in Clark Fork. He's always told me that he's happy to fit other little jobs in just for variety. He's extremely good. Let me know if you want me to put you in touch with him.

That would be great, Athol isn't that far. I think I could get it done myself, but I suspect I would make more work for myself before I got it right.

OK, I just left a message for my wife at home to dig up his phone number. As soon as she gets back to me with it, I'll PM you.
