Greetings Scott!

I can't find the gentleman's name, but he is the owner of
Aledo Muffler & Repair, 405 Southeast 3rd Street, Aledo, IL 
61231.  Phone:  309-582-3637

It seems like he is fabricating a hitch nearly every time
that I visit his shop, and the hitches always appear to be
very well crafted -- the one on my Eldorado has performed
flawlessly.

Shortly after having this gentleman fabricate my hitch, I
was also told that another neighborin shop also fabricates
custom hitchs (I aslo did quite a bit of business with them
on other projects, but not hitches).  That shop's
information is as follows:   Cokel's Welding Shop - Muffler
Shop, 1802 Southeast 3rd Street, Aledo, IL  61231.  Phone: 
309-582-3227.

I also had tremendous difficulty finding a shop that would
consider custom hitch work, but Aledo Muffler certainly did
a nice job with the project on my Eldorado.
