[Spridgets] Sounds Like the TJ Upholstery Shops Have Moved North?

[Edward Perez]

My father had his 68 firebird done down there.  They did an outstanding job of 
duplicating the original color and patterns, but the quality of the thread and 
vinyl was crappy.  The job didn't last 3 years before it started to come apart 
and discolor.

Now that Tijuana is virtually shut down due to the drug cartels, sounds like
some or many of the shops have moved up into Orange County and vicinity?

In high school, living in San Diego, guys used to take their 55, 56, 57
Chevys, and other types of cars, mostly Chevys down to TJ for the infamous
"Tuck n Roll" that could get done for cheap.

I had my 1960 VW done down there as well as my 1970 Datsun pickup truck.  .
not in tuck n roll though.

The sewing machines that these guys used were so antiquated. .  it was
amazing to see the work that they could get done with such crapped out tools
and such.
