New Member: looking for a builder in Houston - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows a good builder/custom shop in or near Houston Texas. I am looking to get a complete (modified) restoration done.
Google yields few results: (any experience with any of these?)

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forum DFL. Tell me a bit more about your project so I have an idea of where you might need to go.

What part of town are you in??

DFL · 06-28-2011, 11:41 AM

Thank you. I am on the west side of Houston. Here is a picture of my truck. Cold that day

Right now I am not completely decided on what exactly I want. I was hoping to get some help with that.

I saw this truck in a magazine some time ago:

I know its not a Blazer but this is the general direction I'm thinking.

What I am looking to do:
- Swap to late model LS motor/tranny combo.
- Swap axles to 14bolt / dana60 1ton with matching wheels & lift
- Get bodywork done correctly.

Welcome aboard! I'm on the northwest side, up by Cypress. Your ride looks very similar to mine.

There are alot of shops around that specialize in different areas....but of the two you have listed Mo Muscle Cars has been doing some really good work.
