Oh without question but since this has been going on for awhile for James here
I would only offer the advice that I would do.
Not that it's worth much but regrettably when you get ticked off over a project
like this one, that outta sight and outta mind is not a bad thing.

I would take finished over correct. :-)
Fred, I'm interested in the work that the Dallas Roadster shop did - do you
have any pics?

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...
