Tool up? Hmmmm. I think the mechanics would be using the existing tools. They dont use dies or wood bucks for the vehicles. What they do use are simple trace patterns made over the original. They can start as soon as the vehichle arrives.

That's a great idea but please do most of the arrangements through PM's. Don't want any complaints about advertising so PM's should be the way to go.
