Looking for Pro Bronco Builder

[Imagator]

I am looking for someone who would like to build a bronco for my Uncle. He's impressed with my build progress exspecialy since he knows my skill level was about a 1 on a scale of 1-10 when I started. I credit most of my knowledge to what Ive learned here. I am giving my '66 to my dad when Im done with it so naturaly my uncle wants one.

We were talking about building the ultimate Bronco the other night. I didnt know how serious he was until he called me today and asked me to find a profesional builder. We know several mechanics and car enthusiast but for the money he is willing to dish out I want someone who has Bronco Blood.

I have not been around long enough to know who is who on this site but I have seen some great work. I want this job to go to someone who will treat it like their own. He is not in a hurry and understands the process. He is also willing to pay top dollar for Craftmanship.

He would like to get started as soon as he has the right relationship established so if you are interested or know someone who is please have them contact me. He would like to cover all the prliminary communications through email and phone but this person must be willing to fly to Florida (He will cover all the cost) for initial planning.

He is not interested in buying one regardless of how nice it may be. He likes the creative process.

Let me know if you can think of anyone interested.

"LSUPete" is in Florida....and he has built some mighty fine broncos.I think this thread should be moved to "bronco talk"

Thanks, I have seen Petes broncos. I am going to contact him.

Since I am offering an opportunity and looking for someone with advanced tech skills, I thought the Tech section was fitting. I am sure everyone understands.

If anyone talks to a guy name Nick, I think thats his name, would you tell him to look at this post and see if he is interested. I think he goes by NixTrix.

I dont know much about him but I will contact him.

As far as location goes, anywhere North, North east or North West of Florida is fine. He plans to start from frame up so I imagine he is going to spend between 30 - 50k in parts alone. He could end up paying atleast 15-20 in shipping charges if everything goes to Florida. He is retired and he likes to travel so he will actualy look forward to making visits. Anyone from California that is interested please contact me. I want to try and work with one parts supplier. Mark at Wild Horse sold me 75% of the parts for my build. He is always very helpfull and they always give me VIP treatment even though I have only spent about 2K with them so far. I am hoping they can handle everything. If we find someone on the East Coast, we will use a heavy hauler out of Cali and move it all at once.

Again, His biggest concern is finding the right person to do the work. He wants to use the newest parts available and hopefuly work with someone that can incorporate a few unique and new ideas. I will post lots of pics and we will be looking for plenty of suggestions.

Imagator, I would be interested in doing the Bronco build for your Uncle. I uploaded a few pics of the Bronco we just built for the Carlisle show in my gallery. Please look over them and if they interest you and your Uncle please contact me. I can mail you a cd of the whole process if you would like. There are way too many to post... Because of my mod motor installs & custom fab work, I believe that I can help your Uncle out with any ideas & "NEW" things to do...We are on the cutting edge of Bronco builds!!! I am looking foward to new Bronco builds in the future...Hope I can help.Thanks Van

Looking for a pro

If I had the money I would take mine to Nick of NicksTrix, first class all the way. Has the ability to make one off parts if needed and overall would be a great to work with.

Ben
One of these days he may justs end up doing a truck for me ;D

 

[Modman]

If you can't get the posted pics from my gallery there are some pics on the Bronco chat forum from Carlisle. It is the only Mod motor Bronco pictured. Hofefully the other pics will post soon.

 

[Imagator]

Thanks Modman, I am going to PM you

Again, His biggest concern is finding the right person to do the work.

That concern is solved if you use Nick. Finding an open spot with him is gold, and you should jump on it! I wanted him to do mine, and there was about an 18 month waiting list. He's honest, and one of the most detail oriented guys I've seen. Check out the 76bronco.com link and then ask the owner what HE thinks about Nick's work. There's no better pitch than a customer reference, and I'm bettin' Doc McQueen will give 2 thumbs and toes up on Nick.

Steve Wisler in Montana does some great work. Bigskybroncos.com
I have seen some of the rigs Dana has built at Bronco Hut in Colorado as well.

 

[blue bronc]

check out www.rockyroads.com I have seen some of the stuff they put aout and it looks good. I knwo itis expensive and ther emay be a wait list. But if I was going to have some one build a bad ass bronco call these guys. I knoe they are out of california.
Check out the web site.

I know you said in FL. but Nicks is where i would go. I just spent some time with him and his family and he is a 1st class guy with a 1st class shop and is very particular about the quality of work he does. He is a perfectionist and it shows.(Nick, can i have my sauce now;D ). Good luck, Alex
