Thanks for the advice...I have tried to contact the one member you thought you saw in Ohio, and have gotten no response. I as well have already corresponded with Alex at Dearborn Auto, and he may be the man. I was actually considering one of his cars as well.
And yes, the car I am looking at is Tom's. Seems to be a really good guy. Has a lot of good documentation on the work he has had done and unless i find out different, has been really up front about all the outstanding issues he knows of with his car.
Any other thoughts you could share based on my posts would be greatly appreciated!
And oh...By the way...
Hatch and Sons is no more. They were bought, or something, by a group called Heritage Automotive I think it was. And as a result of that, the restoration/vintage department was done away with, at least so far as it involved any former Hatch and Son's people.
I do know that the Chief Mechanic John Christiano has opened up his own shop called JTC Auto or something like that in the same general vicinity. I have a call out to him and will let you know what I find so you can share the info with other members if it helps.
