Flying instruction in aeronca 7AC CHAMP ?

Is there a flying school or private operated to get time in a 7AC CHAMP in Northern California .
I thought I saw a place advertised that would even give you full time dedication to get a license in a champ ?
I bought a 7AC project to rebuild with my grandson .
I would like to send him to get a license in a champ .
He is just finishing a two year program towards his A&P license.
He caught the bug when I took him to oshkosh a couple times .
Like me , he loves experimentals , I have built many .
I am just helping along his journey .
Also I need a cabin door for the 7 AC , any for sale ?
Thanks for any help .

Poke around on this website and see if it is who you were thinking off. https://www.aerodynamicaviation.com/ It was formerly Amelia Reid Aviation at Reid Hillville airport in San Jose. They used to be the go to people for tail wheel instruction. They have a 7ECA Citabria as well as a few other "Champs" https://www.aerodynamicaviation.com/abo ... vaircraft/

I did find these guys . They have a citabria , that might be a second choice if I don’t find an instructor with a champ .
Thanks

Red Sky Aviation at Livermore Airport, CA (KLVK) has a Champ and CFIs that you can rent.

I vote Aerodynamic. Good group of backcountry-minded people.
