I recently moved to Houston TX with a '67 Beaumont (Pontiac version of a Chevelle made/sold only in Canada). The car is under restoration and is in primer. Still needs dome touch-up/sanding, paint, trim and a complete interior. I plan to go as original as possible, as there were only 408 of these cars made (ragtop V8). Can anyone offer advice/names of individuals or shops that I can trust to help me finish this project off? I want to stay in the Houston area. Failing that, any Hosuton area shows this fall where I can meet some folks who can steer me in the right direction?

This shop is a little out of the Houston area, but he is one of the best in the country. He's located in San Antonio.

What part of Houston? I know several good ones depending on your area.

Thanks - we are in Sugar Land (SW of Houston).

In that area there is a shop called the Paintin' Place off of Eldridge. Very high quality work and the guys there are enthusiasts too. Stop by and see them. From the road, the place looks like an old time gas station. Very clean and organized inside. I used to have a shop in the warehouse complex next door to them and was able to monitor several cars start to finish and was very impressed. Wish I was still there!
