Your best bet is to go to as many car shows as possible when the idiotic coronavirus BS has cleared up. Ask for help and advice from people you meet who have fixed up cars similar to yours. They will be able to steer you toward the most reasonable and competent people that they know who do this type of restoration work.
My only caution is that you should try to have them do the minimum that is needed to get the car on the road. Any clean up and refinishing that you can do yourself... you should do yourself. For instance if the engine is running OK, don’t let anyone talk you into major work... it will be more trouble than it is worth and can lead to all manor of additional expenses and headache. We have a friend who started working on his rare 42 Cadillac. The shop wanted to do a complete engine overhaul. if he had driven it for a few thousand miles and sprayed it down with penetrating oil for a few months this might have gone OK. Instead every bolt they tried to take out of it broke off and created thousands of dollars in additional work that might not have been needed.

That’s simply unacceptable. Sounds like a bad case of incompetence.
