Los Angeles shop to do Military Mirror Install?

Post#1 » Mon Apr 12, 2021 8:05 am

Hey Everyone!

I think it's finally time for me to install the military mirrors I bought for my truck last year.

I'm looking for a body shop in Los Angeles that can do the install as well as the paint repair (and perhaps repair a bit of rust I have accumulating under my paint as well)

I googled a bunch of vintage restoration places and emailed them, but I'd prefer to take a recommendation from someone here.

Let me know any good body shops / restoration shops in LA if you know em.

................. also if you have engine swap shop recommendations I am entertaining (but not committed) to that, but would take recs since we are here lol.

Thank you!

Do you have a pic of the mirrors you bought, or a link to the seller?

I don't have experience with a body shop I can recommend here. I do know that AKA is a place that Thor has used- but I don't know if they've done these mirrors. I've seen their work in person, and it doesn't look bad. They did a Scheelman install for one of his customers. Their body work seems to be more of modernization than PUR style...

I know Chris has done these mirrors- so if it were me, I'd probably ship the truck up to him to do the mirrors and a 606a motor swap...

Speaking of LA is there a shop that is somewhat knowledgeable in older Gs or any Gs for that matter

For general repairs I like MBZ in Winnetka. They have a master tech there Donald who does all their vintage cars.

For any axle work I’d use Chris. MBZ won’t touch the front axle bearings, they send the whole axle out.
