Seems now that I am ready and able, most of the places I know of are shut down and gone now.
So, who is out there doing body and paint on a 914 that are good, have a reputation, and maybe a few people have used them? I am willing to ship the tub to the right shop. I will strip it to a tub, or maybe let them do all of that...not sure. rich |

I'd call a local hot rod shop and ask where they get their cars painted.
If its at a shop that does more than just paint jobs/metal repair then move along. Honestly the painting is the easiest part and any shop that gets insurance work can do a good enough job. But its the rust repair or fab that really is the issue. If the chassis is good and straight and were talking minor bodywork and paint... Then just take it to a shop that will kick the work out in a month. It'll be worth having it DONE vs having a shop take 8 months on it. The real question is, do you want to spend 5, 10, 15, or 25k on the repaint? |
