A Job Well Done<br />
I had a crazy notion to restore a 1969 Mustang.<br />
It was rough, ran poorly, and had a $99.00 paint<br />
job. I completed all of the major items and I was at the<br />
stage that excited me the most: paint and body. Later<br />
a friend asked “How is the ’69 coming along?” And<br />
he proceeded to educate me about a shop called West<br />
Coast Auto Collision. He explained that it was in Palm<br />
Springs, family owned and operated, old school, and<br />
“amazing”.<br />
After speaking with Robert Horn, the<br />
owner, I knew my search was over. Robert explained,<br />
with no prompting, how they would disassemble every<br />
piece, strip them to metal, weld and ll holes, remove<br />
rust, and repair every dent. After reviewing photos<br />
I sent, Robert quoted me a price. I at bedded the car<br />
out and met with Robert, his wife, and their daughter.<br />

ey were such a delight to meet with; I felt welcomed<br />
and appreciated. Robert and his crew took detailed<br />
notes as we walked around the car; I said my good<br />
byes, and I left.<br />
ree months later the car was detailed and<br />
awaiting my arrival. I was truly taken aback; it was<br />
EXACTLY as I had imagined it. ey stayed on budget<br />
and they provided several extras at NO cost. As Robert<br />
would say, “It just wouldn’t be right to overlook it nor<br />
just do it then expect you to pay for it”. After 5 years,<br />
my car was nally show quality!<br />
I wrote this article as an appreciation to<br />
the Horn Family, Ron, and the entire West Coast Auto<br />
Collision team. I am grateful for their hard work and<br />
dedication and I will honor them with each road trip I<br />
go on.<br />
