Hi,

Trying this post again to see if anyone has any suggestions:

Can anyone recommend a body-work-person/place in the Los Angeles area who does good work on old bugs for a reasonable amount of $$?

Just got an estimate from a bug-only body shop in Downey for my rear-ended 65... A whopping $800! (I knew these guys were good, and expensive, but man, that's a lot of $$$, isn't it?). They listed labor as $450 (pull it out, put on new parts, primer it), and parts as $350 (2 fenders, a decklid, full rear clip, and hinges)... They said I could bring my own parts to save $ -- which I will do when and if I find all I need on Samba or somewhere else. There are pictures of the damage in the gallery -- the only pictures I have in there.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Julie

Are you open to going to OC? If so, call Robert Garcia in Santa Ana. His number is 714 376-3518. Ask for him by name. Great work at reasonable prices.

You have pics of his work?
