New Member: looking for a builder in Houston

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.
Dave

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.

Re: New Member: looking for a builder in Houston

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.
Featured here:

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.

Re: New Member: looking for a builder in Houston

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.
