custom shop in san diego

Well been looking for some custom shops in san diego. Anyone know of any good ones not the bondo kings?

 

the Jalopy Shoppe in Escondido builds some pretty cool cars IMO

http://411.sandiego.com/Jalopy+Shoppe.9.52520996p.home.html

 

What kind of work needs to b done?

2nd the Jalopy Shoppe.

 

good post I am interested too, will be standing by to see what comes up.

 

Im lookin for a painter in the area. Who knows somebody?

 

3rd on the Jaloppy Shop, nice group of guys, incredible work.
as for painters, i know of a couple depending on what style paint job you want. and what you consider in the area.

 

the reason i asked was yesterday me and my son started working on my 36 truck project started placing the motor and since we kindof need some money for the house i got this stupid idea on offering to put in parts. Dont got a welder right now but will get one. So last night i was curious. My son knew of jallopy shope but besides that. Also my son asked me what i would be doing. I told him like pakard lights into any car, leadwork, hooded headlights, trim removal so on. The only thing i cant do is chop the top or section. But this was just an idea right now.

 

Also "Totally Custom" just down the freeway from the Jalopy Shoppe. "Hi Tech Customs" and Chappell Customs (Lil D) www.elcajonexhaust.com both in El Cajon. Check out this store in El Cajon-- www.eastcountyhotrod.com they can put you in touch with the necessary recources.

If you want INCREDIBLE fab work at a good price, call Dana Czech at ASC motorsports in east county. He worked with me back in my Porsche days and worked for Norm Francis street rods. He truely is a MASTER with a welder. Tell him Jim Sibley told you about him. P.M me if you want his number.

Loose cannon customs in mirra Mesa did a great job fixing the candy flake on my roof. And they were great to deal with. Very nice people and no at***udes

 

Jenkinson's concours and customs. Great guys and superb metal work, mechanical and restoration. award winning paint and concours restoration. I was there metal and body guy for awhile and we used no bondo. From what I know of the jalopy shoppe is no more.

Lee Kay kustoms in Orange, ca

 

That's 0% bondo?

 

4 year old thread. Hope he found a shop by now

 

Theres a san diego hamber group.

 

Ok you got me metal surgeon. If we could get away with it financially we finished the car till it only needed high build and metal glaze filler less that and 8th inch thick in places that I could not be worked entirely because of access. Or area that were factory lead filled which I re leaded if needed. So maybe 2% filler? By the way metal surgeon your work is excellent!
