Projects Good Custom Shop

Looks like I may need some additional help with a few projects on my '36 Ford Pickup. Can anyone recommend a good shop in the San Jose/Morgan Hill area of CA to do Brake , Steering and/or Transmission upgrades/mods?

 

I think it would depend on what you wanted done to each system you spoke of.

 

You could try Alex Gambino https://gambinokustoms.com/ I believe he is in the San Jose area. If he doesn't do the kind of work you are looking for he could probably recommend someone.

 

Jerry Foley, Foley Brothers Kustom Works in Redwood City is just a bit north of there. He has done a lot of work on several of my cars.

 

I believe he moved inland a bit, but still a good call.

 

Good guy, too. I have purchased numerous parts from him.

 

I think if you adjust your terminology you’ll get better results. If you say custom shop, many guys are picturing chopping tops and candy paint. I think you are looking for a street rod style chassis and fabrication shop. You’ve been asking about power disk brakes and electric steering, right?

 

Elect. Steering, yes! Disks, No! You're probably right in that I need a fab. shop as opposed to a custom shop. My '36 is in great shape...I just want to have (power?) hydraulic brakes (I have 99% of the parts); power (Elect.) steering; a T-5 trans & related drive shaft & rear end conversion hardware...and a few minor touches such as a bench seat slider, battery relocated to under hood/firewall and a tonnaou cover for the bed. Not much (ha-ha)!!

 

Electric steering on the HAMB? Probably not a good fit.
