I've been reading the comments and advice from member to member,looks like everybody has lots of expertise. I've got two projects that are on the way; a 67 bus and a 72 beetle. The mechanical is almost done on the bus it just needs some body and paint work....probably a lot. It's from california but given that I bought it with a moisture sucking primer coat on it needs attention PDQ before it starts to seriously rust out. The 72 beetle was in the family for thirty years,drifted over to a friend and now finds it way back into the family with most of the bodywork done, solid mechanicals but unfortunatley, mostly in pieces. Both are pretty typical scenarios for most V-dub owners I think...
So here's my question: Does anyone know body and paint guys, available soon who can take at least one of these projects the rest of the way? I prefer to leave body and paint to the experts because I was never happy with the patch jobs that friends and myself could accomplish. I've been having trouble finding people who will take a bus or beetle seriously, clearly I've been looking in the wrong places!
Anyway, thanks for any input, I figure I'm on the right track on this site.
