 Relocating from NH to Parker COHey all I am in the process of moving to Parker and scrambling to get my 74 back together and on the road. I just wanted to reach out and say hi and I'm looking forward to meeting you all soon. I should have her out here in July if everything goes as planned. I'll need a good paint shop when she gets here so if anyone has any recommends please send them my way. - Chuck

Re: Relocating from NH to Parker CO Charles,
Welcome to Colorado! Parker is a great city. I am also new here (on the forum, I'm a CO native) and new to the world of Broncos so I unfortunately don't have recommendations for a body shop but you will find everyone here is very helpful and can point you in the right direction. Just wanted to say hello and welcome! -Colby _________________ Sally '66 Halfcab |

Re: Relocating from NH to Parker CO Chuck, welcome! Colby is right - this is one of the truck best clubs (if not the best) that I have ever been a part of and everyone chips in when they can. You'll feel very welcome, I am sure! Safe travels!

Re: Relocating from NH to Parker CO Welcome to the club and Parker. We have a couple of folks who do body work and paint in the club. And plenty of folks have had paint done at local shops as well. I do believe we need a pic of the bronco to hold us over until you get here!

Re: Relocating from NH to Parker CO Welcome to the club!
I do body work & paint in a shop in Gunnison. We are about 4 hours from Denver, up in the mountains. Unfortunately, our shop is insurance/accident repair oriented, not resto/full paint. We are a fairly new shop (growing very quickly), with only 2 full time experienced paint & body guys. We seem to be having trouble getting the restos done quickly. Maybe if the truck was truly "ready for paint", we could push it through fairly quickly. But most stuff that comes in "ready for paint" isn't really "ready for paint". Safe travels during your move. And lets see a picture or two! _________________ "America is at that awkward stage.

Re: Relocating from NH to Parker CO Thanks for the warm welcome ! I attached some of the build pics we've taken over the years.... Can't believe it's been years but any way it's almost done and I can't wait to start wheeling.

Re: Relocating from NH to Parker CO Paint and a bunch of de-bugging. Tasker on classic Broncos wanted me to try and drive it the 2000 miles out here but there was no way.

Re: Relocating from NH to Parker CO Very nice looking ride for sure! I'd be afraid to wheel it if I were you! But there is plenty of backcountry to explore without risking body damage.

Re: Relocating from NH to Parker CO The number one thought behind the build was making sure we could take it out to eastern Oregon and drive it/beat it hard while out hunting. It's only metal.
