there are very few classic vw restoration specialist around , chose wisely
if you think it is expensive to hire a pro , wait until you hire an amateur

The previous owner apparently hired an amateur and now I am having to find a pro to fix his work..... :-)

I cannot speak to work but they are a VW shop and advertise full restoration

Menagers Paint in Pasadena area.

Not sure if do work but there a place called Fountain of Youth VW or similar down League city way

George Karakostas in Hitchcock small man operation advertises paint body shop next door. he does only acvw

may check with smith foreign auto in pasadena for a referral. they do all acvw mechanical work and been around for years.

these are some local shops.

my paint work was done by basic typical paint and body shop so I do not know a so-called ACVW paint body restoration shop in area.

I have met Robert with J&J in Trenton and have seen a fresh Thing restoration in and out. It was very well done and very clean restoration.

Does anyone have a picture of the slider door track cover. I need to send it to my wife so that she knows what I ask her to look for in my garage. I'm out of town for the weekend and I need her to take a part to a paint shop for me

Call Steve at Clean Rides in Wallis, TX (30 mins from Sugar Land). He has painted both my 62 vert and 67 Westy (and still own) and I myself work in Sugar Land. He has prob. done 50 or more full VW restorations and who can count how many VW paint jobs. He has done anything from 23 window buses to early 50's barndoors to super beetles so he knows his way around one where as most people dont want to fool with them and he currently owns and drives my old 67 Beetle I drove in high school in the 80s. and has had many others. He specializes in "restoration" of cars and VW's are his specialty as he is currently restoring a bus for a customer in Colorado. He and his wife do all the work themselves, they have a big shop at their house. If u want to see some more pics just click on my "vwpackrat" then go to photos and you'll see a few vdubs he has done over the years........my vert, westy, bros. 57 oval, 58 23 window, his old red candy bug, etc......Tell em Steven sent ya,,,,979-478-2746
