Thank you for compiling the list it will be an excellent resource for the San Diego Cruiser community.

Per Noah, delete MIT from the driveline category -- he had a bad experience with them.

Still looking for a good paint shop

No problem, everyone seems to help each other out around here, so I just wanted to contribute.

As for MIT, I left it in there and just tagged it as "mixed reviews" since there have been both positive and negative experiences.
 
Don't forget your local Cruzer Steel Source at Summit Steel in Oceanside-- (760)726-TUBE !!! Discount for all LC owners. Also, RPM or Richards Performance Muffler in Oceanside does excellent work. Carry on.
