If you have "deep pockets" you will find some one. Most people doing "restorations" do 90% of the work themselves because by the time you get the bike complete you could have bought one already done for the money threw at all the problems.
I buy and sell on Ebay for Triumph and older HD bikes. I also have a couple of Honda 450s.. with diligence and patience you can do this.
I live in the Northwest. or I would help you.. If you can repair the old fairing do it.. these are getting harder and harder to come by. I run older bikes and would advocate getting a spare bike for parts.. engine parts, carbs, and electrical stuff will cost you as much or more than Harley stuff. The older Japanese Bikes are coming into their own right now..

Hi just a question these where not a particularly a great bike to begin with didn't handle that well and always lagged on the low end performance seems like you just had to keep waiting for something to happen until the turbo boost kicked in. But each to his own taste in bikes. Most mechanics will shy away from rebuilds due to the cost and time hunting down parts that are non available and often cost go well above the worth of the motorcycle. You may want to try a custom automotive body shop that does fiberglass repair and paint.
