Walter, I don't know about Hibernia but a large car collector, who has
some 90 cars in his collection, just opened a new multi-million dollar
restoration facility in Tarpon Springs FL. It covers about 2 blocks
with a show room at one end, 30 or so restored car for sale (none of his
private collection) and the restoration facility at the other end. The
restoration shops look like a HOSPITAL, I'm not kidding, Spotless. white
epoxy or tile floors with gloss enamel walls. 2 Climatic controlled
paint booths w/mixing room between them, engine rebuild shop, chassis
and alignment shop, disassembly shop, sand blasting shop w/ plastic
bead, glass bead and sand blasting equipment, paint prep area, 2
assembly areas, one will handle 12 or so cars (all full) and a body shop
with English rolls to make new parts; finders, bonnets, cowls, etc..
These guys do everything, even build complete new cars in steel or
aluminum.
Our MG car club just toured their facilities last week.
