 |
|
I am looking to restore a 1965 Pontiac GTO and have this site to be very helpful (thank you Shane and others).
What I am trying to gather is information on body / paint shops in Mexico. There appear to be two that some have used, Los Ponchos & Los Panchos, yet given the years in business I cannot seem to find a lot of reviews on either. I am curious if folks have used other shops in Mexico, or one of the two listed, and the experiences. Thanks

Los Ponchos thread is 8 years old & is the only Mexico autobody/paint info we have here. Take a trip to Tijuana & talk to some in person. Take good pictures of your GTO to show them. I had a couple cars upholstered there & was happy with the work/price. You do your own research & decision making in the End!

Mike - Thanks a ton, but I have to believe there have been many others and am just looking for folks to chime in. I plan on going to TJ next week and checking out a few places.
Which shops have you used for upholstery work ?
Thanks! |
