Anybody have any work done by these guys? I hear they have been around forever. I'm considering having them do my vert top on my '72 KG. It's a tough one with the fold-down glass rear window.
Feedback please

I've known Tom Lopez of Nacho's Upholstery for a number of years. He used to show his white '66 Ghia at the Classic and the KGPR Ghia Treffens until he started running in the DRKC series.
I've seen a number of VWs that they've done, I would recommend you support a VW enthusiast getting your upholstery done there.

I've never used them nor do I know anyone who has but I have been to the shop and saw their work on non-VW's. Its on Victory west of the 170 freeway and has a large open bay facing the street. The place has always been filled with early restored American classics. I was contemplating taking one of my early non-VW cars there for work in approx 2 months after paint so I'm glad to see this thread pop up. You should roll over there and see their work in person. |

Thanks for the replies guys. Banzai, I saw your car at the Treffen and Classic, and I still haven't met you! Hopefully some time soon.
Nacho came in lowest of all the quotes I got to put my top on. They quoted me $550 with me supplying all the materials. He also came recommended a few years back by a nice guy with a vert Ghia from Airspeed club over here in Simi Valley. Just seems odd that the best shop would also have the lowest quote...

Good or bad?
I'll probably swing by there today to see John...
Anybody else have an opinion?

| From what I did see, it looked good. Never saw a vert top while there but I was checking out seats and door panels on non-vw early classics. Like i mentioned, I'm taking an early non-vw there in a couple months for some work. You'll get a good idea of their work when you see the place and them installing stuff while youre there. Good luck !! |
