I have a co-worker who wants to "restore"/modify a Bronco II. It has sentimental value that's why he is doing it. I have never seen the truck but the pictures he showed me the body looks like its in good condition.
What he is looking to do is modernize it a little and put a lift kit on it as it will be his duck hunting truck, but look good. Only "major" thing would be putting a stronger motor in it, possibly a foxbody 5.0, and maybe a solid axle swap to fit 35's.
Does anyone have a recommendation of a shop within 2-3hrs drive from Nashville that could do all the work. he doesn't want to drop it off at multiple shops and doesn't mind if it will take months to finish. So its pretty much rebuilding everything mechanical back to new and freshening up the body/paint.
Here is a pic of what it looks like now and something like what he is looking for.
