I have been meaning to do this for quite a while. I receive job requests from all over North America due to our website and instagram account being well known. I then refer those people who contact me to the closest shop.
One thing I love about the vintage Willys and military vehicle community is that all the shops play nice with each other, so I want to make sure those of you with work to be done get to and support your closest restoration shop. (and why pay to ship something a long distance if there is a shop nearby?)
I do not receive any payment for this. So here is a list of restoration shops around the US specializing in vintage Jeeps and military vehicles.
