      Recommended shops for a ground up pro touring build

      As the title suggest i have plans on buying another F 100 and building a pro touring styled truck, current truck is a nice cruiser but doesn't perform and handle as good as it looks. Who do you guys recommend that can build the truck from start to finish

      What part of the country are you in?? I know in today's world it really doesn't matter but, No Limit has some great products but not sure if Rob does full builds, on the West Coast. Or one in my back yard would be the Roadster Shop in the midwest IL. One of their Fast Track chassis under a F100 would be bad azz!!! Lots of great shops around the country to pick from depending on what your looking for.

      I would love to see Ring Brothers do a Ford truck, they are up here in Wisconsin. I would give them a call as well. Given the money these builds cost I would visit a few shops in person and go from there. I also second the Roadster Shop, impecable work and attention to detail.

      However long you think your project will take, double it and you might be halfway right.

      I'm from Australia, i want to have the car built state side so not fussed as to where as long as the shop turns out quality builds. Just browsed over the roadster shop and thats what im looking for, some stunning cars and they have already done some 53-56 F 100's previously. Thanks gents, certainly pointed me in the right direction here. If there are any others that you recommend im all ears.

      I have had the chance to visit the Roadster Shop (just passed it today BTW) and the fabrication is unbelievable. I actually said to my wife if we ever get rich and she wants to buy me something expensive, just go there. I can't comment on the service but just looking at the operation makes me assume they know how to take care of customers. Heck, I'l volunteer my time if you want me to track the progress with pics if you give me access. I drive by there about 2 times a week. The place is that cool.

      Hi Rob,

      I'm looking to purchase another truck as the one i have atm will be complete shortly and will be going up for sale once the new engine goes into it. I want to build another one from the ground up, full chassis, coyote engine with a 8/71 blower on it and 22x12's out back with it sitting as close to the ground as possible. Heating & aircon as it'll be a daily driver :-)

      Been going over some of their builds and the level of detail is amazing, got some pretty cool ides off a few of their other builds aswell.

      I appreciate the offer, i'm still probably 6 months away from putting money down. I want to get rendering done of a few ideas then i need to find a donor truck and begin the task of accruing the parts.
