Quality/Recommended Restoration Shop
#1
Bought a '72 Bronco in southern California before recently moving to Charleston. It is GOOD shape, and I am looking for a shop anyone recommends for a mild frame-on restoration (some electrical, weather stripping, minimal body, paint). Thanks.

vmi2008, welcome to CB4x4. Glad to have another EB brother join the ranks. The guys and gals on here love their Broncos and are willing to offer advice based on their experience and help with "wrenchin parties" when asked (will work for free beer and food). I am sure the guys in Charleston can steer you to some quality shops to help with your restoration. You definitely want to talk with blazinchuck, our "grand poobah". He has some mean fabrication skills and the tools necessary to get the job done right. Check out his thread which started as a full width axle build and then over time morphed into one bad azzz trail rig. It will give you a good idea of his capabilities and the type of projects he is willing to tackle. I feel his ($) rates for members of the club are especially reasonable for the quality workmanship you get in return. Also, we do love pictures, so post some of your rig when you get a chance............................................

Not sure of your budget, but Nick at NixTrix up here above Charlotte does top quality work. He is pretty busy though. It sounds like you aren't needing a whole lot though. There are a lot of us on the board that can help coach you through some of it. Electrical and weatherstripping is pretty easy, depending on your background. Feel free to pm me if you would like.
