| I'll let you know as soon as my Kombi is finished if I should recommend this shop. So far so good, minimal body filler none of this fill the dents with filler here. Rust has been cut out and replaced with good metal tried to use as much OG metal as possible. Replacement metal was sourced from Kelly aka "Metalwizard" ( www.metwiz.com ) The cool thing about this shop is that I have been allowed to photo document the whole process as metal was being replaced well as time allowed me and I did lagged a little. I'll check back in and hopefully I will be able to recommend this shop. Oh by the way it's in SD county (Vista). Good luck. |

Braxmeyers Bodyworks is in San Marcos I believe. But if you're closer to San Diego, there's a Porsche Concours Restoration shop in the Sports Arena area. Right across the street from Les Girls night club. It's the big blue building. Sorry, can't think of the name right now  |

Nope Glenn,
Jimmy Braxmeyer's shop is in Vista. (760) 940-8248. I highly reccomend him. He and Dennis Foronda did a fantastic job on my ragtop.

check my gallery pix to see the quality of Braxmeyer's work. This paint job is 18 months old with absolutely NO shrinking, peeling or blemishes.
