Title: Body Shops In So Cal?? Post by: Taylor on November 29, 2011, 13:52:12 pm I have decided that the amount of work needed to reattach the rear clip on my '67 is going to be better left to someone other than me. I can't seem to get the time set aside and the courage to do it right and am looking for suggestions of a body shop in So Cal or Las Vegas with a good reputation. Anyone have any??? I am going back to school next semester and work full time so getting the work done by someone else will help with my wavering back and forth about how to do it correctly. I have all the pieces and an NOS apron to get it done.

Title: Re: Body Shops In So Cal?? Post by: Taylor on November 29, 2011, 14:01:21 pm I'd like to but I'm not. I get too critical and want to buy a new body when I do it myself. If someone else does it I am not so critical, I just say good enough. Its why I haven't had a running car in so long.

They have been doing VW's and other high quality cars for years and are competent. I have also heard very good results from Paul Smoot's shop in Ontario. Best of luck, as I understand well how you feel.

Look at my In The Werks thread for pics. http://cal-look.no/lounge/index.php/topic,492.0.html Title: Re: Body Shops In So Cal?? Post by: Hecker on November 30, 2011, 05:58:56 am Anyone know how to get in touch with Steve -- the "NV tinman" ??? ;)
He's in Vegas and knows how to do those right !!! Title: Re: Body Shops In So Cal?? Post by: Dave Galassi on November 30, 2011, 14:49:58 pm Steve is not allowed to touch anyone else's car until his own is done, by decree of his friends.

Are you going to fill in original pee shooter cut outs too? BTW if you talk to Hale tell him I need a box of tampons for his mother. Damn rotten skunk juice is dripping' all over my new floor. Slimy shit smells like raw sewage! Also her 3 legged dog needs new dentures. Thanks!

NO problem.....It only makes me mad when I think about it. ;D Rick: I called Octavio and sent him an Email of the car and am waiting for a response. Title: Re: Body Shops In So Cal??
