david at aircooled.net (carrolton N side of D) 214-227-4245

barry at blythe enterprises (Garland E side) 972-333-5063

Doug at Qualitat (Arlington mid-cities)

Vdub folks (Irving)

I know there are a few more, but I only deal with the ones close to me as the bottom two are almost an hour away.

BTW dallasaircoolers.com might yield better results as it has more locals.

Ghiadesigns, I was not sure what work I will be needing, but paint and floorpan work for sure. I would like the chassis and body paint stripped and maybe powdercoated for starters.

Thanks again, you guys!

Great info in here.

I just purchased a 63 Ghia from a coworker and will have to take it to a shop soon (didn't have it a whole week and someone backed into it in my parking lot :x )

I'm in Plano as well, so you might see me tooling around in the sea blue KG :D

Barry Blythe at Shiloh and Kingsley was also recommended to me. He's apparently worked on bugs for years and years. Supposed to be very good, though I have no need yet to have him work on my Pepper.

Angel at Foreign Car Parts on Northwest Highway at Plano road is a great local source for emergency mechanical parts until you can get the good stuff. 214-221-5700. They're on Southeast side, and you can't turn left into their drive from Plano road, so take Jupiter down.

Keep watch for the red 74 'vert in Garland/Richardson area!
