Charles Talbert at M-series restoration has a stellar reputation. I would definitely contact him. I don't have his web address handy, but if you google him, it should come right up.
I am beginning to do some work on the side. I could do a full restoration for someone, but I strongly doubt I would be price competitive with a resto/work shop.
The problem for me is that I am so detail oriented, it takes me forever to get something done. When I am done, it's spotless, done right, everything is done right, up to specs, etc. But that takes time. And I've never been fast at turning wrenches.
I can do it all-bed swaps, engine, trans, transfer swaps, brakes, etc. I have the heavy lift capability.
I can do paint, but again, like a full restoration, I probably wouldn't be price competitive with other shops.
I provide pictures of the work being done to show owners what they're getting and so that they'll have the documentation of their trucks upgrades for posterity or when they sell the vehicle.
Also, since I still have a day job, it takes me awhile to get this stuff done. So if you pay for 20 hours of labor, you probably won't get the truck back in 2.5 days.
Here are some pictures of some of the work I have done over the years. Hopefully it represents me accurately.
If you're interested, pm me.
Thanks
