I need a recommendation for a good and honest 356 restoration shop in southern CA. I have a 1962 S-90 and the person performing the work decided to retire. The car is 85% done. Paint, bodywork and interior have been completed.
Thank you
356 Restoration

Re: 356 Restoration
A few come to mind in no particular order: Shane (Jim) East, Louis Paras, John Willhoit, Jim Gordon. I have not used any of them for body & paint. I used Hung Luu Auto Body in Azusa. I'm sure others will weigh in with their suggestions.

Re: 356 Restoration
Sounds like it's largely reassembly.
You could try Ed at Klasse in Torrance, Scott's Independent in Anaheim, or Jack Staggs in San Clemente.
