Canopy repair service?

Yep it cracked! Beautiful little RV-8, we've had it for a few months. 250 hours and about 13 years since first flight. Gorgeous build.
Anyone know a service or a "guy" that does great work and has experience replacing an RV8 sliding canopy? I'm swamped with work so...
I'd be happy to deliver aircraft. I'm on the West Coast but it makes sense to go wherever.
Thanks in advance
PM with ideas.
 
Likewise, the canopy of my -7 slider cracked in flight yesterday. It started from the center bow from a previously stop-drilled crack.

Can anyone recommend someone who does a good job repairing cracks, preferably on in the southeast. I am in Alabama. It does not need to be perfect as it is mostly above and out of the normal sight lines.

Lew repaired my RV-8 canopy and a friend’s who shipped his from Vermont.

Dropped off my RV8 with cracked canopy to Ryan Marshall in Grants Pass, OR.
Excellent job replacing canopy. It is perfectly done. Very nice to work with him.
