Three states south of Minnesota is Arkansas. Call Del Lehmann or Brett Hamm at Mountain Airframe in Mena. Excellent work, reasonable rates.

Dave Thorsness from Foley MN has been doing Cessna wings and controls for over 30 yrs. He has jigs to be able to completely start a wing from scratch if needed. Very fair pricing.

I would call Karl Anderson of Aircraft Northwest for recommendations in your neck of the woods.
