SW Florida
Hey-
My wife and I are planning a move, most likely before the end of this year. My car, 73 Ventura, is not finished but I want to take it with me. It'll need some metal work and 8 point bar. I am not concerned with final body work now. Are there any recommended shops from Tampa to Naples? A google search, to my surprise, did not produce many results. Thanks. |

I would join a local car club and ask around as you may find someone who is highly recommended but not internet active.

I can tell you there is a bunch of this on the east coast especially around Stuart.

My car was done many moons ago by Teddies Hot Rods in St Pete. Black paint, came out great. He specialized in bikes but did mine once I got to know him.

There "was" also a body shop called Henry's near the same locale in St Pete. I cannot vouch for the painting capability but they did both quarters. Good work.

These folks did my prior ladder bar / leaf spring floater setup. Yes, a drive though from the "Gold Coast."
https://www.coastchassis.com/services Excellent for your roll bar and such.

I'll be moving to Florida and did some checking around and was directed to
http://www.ironstablegarage.com/home.html I haven't gone to them yet since I'm still up here in CT, but I plan on visiting them before committing to anything. |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
