I am looking to get it done in less than a year and for less than $50,000
otherwise I would send it to Lenny. Hell that's where all of the interior came
from.
Sewfine wants $3,500 - $4,000 to put the interior together and all the
skylights, slider rebuild, headliner seats, panels etc.

40K plus was the last price I had heard. That's for a complete tear down and
restoration. They'll do partials, paint, interiors etc. The nice thing is
that they get work done unlike quite a few other shops that people will throw
money at..
Definitely not for the faint of heart.

Will: I have sort of been trying to stay outta this debate. but I seem to
remember that I recommended L Coop as a possibility. Do you have any idea what
Lenny would charge for a complete turn-key resto of a 21? My guess is start at
$50,000 and go up depending.

You're going to get very few places in Texas that do VWs for a single price.
Unfortunately though any place that quotes you is always estimating their labor
on the high side. If I had the money and were in your shoes I'd ship it out to
Lenny at WCC in Cali. At least that way it would be out of sight and out of
mind, but it would be correct and finished when it returned.

Thanks! I'll check them out. Sachse Hot Rod shop is the real deal but I think
it might be a bit overkill to go that route. I would still need someone to do
the interior after dropping all that cash. I am leaning towards trailering it
up to Sewfine after it's painted.
I have heard of a place called Yo Boys past Lavon recommended by a VW guy in
Nevada, Tx.
Anyone heard of them?

I went to Sachse Hot Rod Shop for a bid.
They wouldn't give me one, all they talked about is how far down I want to take
it and what there hourly rates were. I ran away very fast.
I just got my bus out of the shop, I used Dallas Roadster in Plano TX.
I am very impressed with the work that was done.
Rust, body work, paint and they installed my safari windows and they did in in
just over 30 days.
I would recommend them.

.... damn. I went to Sachse Hot Rod Shop http://www.sachserodshop.com/
and they have some top notch restos coming outta there. They want to dip it and
quoted me 15-20k for the minimum and 35-40k for the full concourse resto and at
least a year...that doesn't include the headliner. I think I need to have a
garage sale.
Another option was a collision shop and he wants 10k but that doesn't include
the suspension or the powder coating or interior. A friend of mine is impressed
with his work but I wasn't able to see any finished projects yesterday. 3 month
turn around
The last place we went to was a very nice shop in Lewisville called Dusold.
http://www.dusolddesigns.com/
I got a good vibe from that place. He will call with an estimate on Monday Min
20k.
Wow...
