Howdy All --- this seems a good place to pass along experiences (the Good, the Bad & the Ugly) with local service providers in any area of Texas so I thought I'd start an "Angie's List" we can all contribute to and hopefully benefit from. Engine builders, upholstery, parts, paint & body...whatever. Texas is big, so breaking them down with a thread for each area seemed to make sense.

I'll kick it off by pasting two that were recommended by 51Bolt in other threads...

Engine machine shop my dad has used 20+ years. Does all our machine work on race, street, or diesel engines. Not cheap but 100% quality work.

During my project, I did a lot of research on a good painter in my area (Spring) and was told about Randy Borscherding now in Cypress. He and his crew did a great job for me. Go to Painthousetx.com and check it out. Good crew and very fair. My 51 is in the Out the Door section named Ol Joe.

51Bolt --- Thanks for the reference. Looks they did a sweet job on your ride. Always helps to hear first hand accounts of other folks experiences with any service providers.

Really sweet truck BTW!
