Hi all,
I'm in the process of stripping down my 75 and looking for someone who can do body and paint. I'm near Half Moon Bay in the SF Bay Area. Any suggestions would be extremely helpful. Thanks, Rob |

The owner Scott has had a few 914 race cars over the years (not sure if he still does). They've painted one of my 914s but didn't do a very good job. They used the wrong thinner for the paint (or so i was told). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |

@JeffBowlsby
My comments above were about "Yeaman Auto Body" since the OP is looking for a body-shop. HPH (Rich Bontempi) is not a body shop ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) I must have pasted this in the wrong thread. Sorry. Someone had brought up HPH recently, now where was that thread... |
