IML: 1967 Crown - Restoration Project Washington DC / References?



Here's the short of it.  I have a 1967 crown imperial, 2dr hard top.  It has about 50k original miles on it but it basically sat in a barn for about 15 years and of all things was used as a farm vehicle.  I have actually tagged cattle out of the driver?s side door of this car.   However, after that many years in the barn, the mice moved in during the winters and the interior is in bad shape.. among other things..
 
Anyway, I'm looking to have the thing whipped back into shape for use as a daily driver and or to at least be able to keep it around another 60 years or so..
 
The car runs very good, only problem is a slight over heating problem, once the car is turned off it doesn't like to get started again. Maybe battery size, not sure, the car is flushed and clean, timing is good, advance is good.. all the usuall, no ping..
 
So, I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a good shop for a rebuild, electrical, some minor bodywork etc.. I have a paint guy identified.  I'd consider handing it over to someone to pull the entire thing apart do a complete rebuild and convert all of the electrical. 
 
The DC Metro area would be great, but I'd be willing to take it further if thats what needs to be done.
 
Thanks..
