Well, its not exactly driving distance but it is a quick flight by RV. I recommend Tom Berge from Minnesota. He is endorsed by Vans Aircraft and does a stellar job. He has built several RV's (two of his own and has had a hand in several others). Very experienced and qualified pilot. http://www.rvtransition.com
Back in '07, I used Paul Pocock from BAK, Columbus, IN. I don't know if Paul is still doing transitions in his 7, but I was very pleased with his training. He is of course a CFI and flies for one of the airlines, so he doesn't do a lot of training. He is the builder and has a great RV-7, as well as being an excellent instructor and great guy. I can try to look up his number if you have a problem. I only see him when he stops by OVO for gas.
I have his phone as (812) 376-3 one one four (it is a listed number, don't have a cell number.) You can say I recommended him if you like. Like I say, haven't asked him about training in a while, but he may have the time (another excuse to fly!) Hope it works out. Stop by OVO (North Vernon.)
