I'm looking for a small machine shop (Denver area) that takes walk-in business, and not just production work. I have a small job for my Willys Jeep that involves drilling a bunch of little holes, it would require a dividing head w/3-jaw chuck and a small drill press or milling machine. Simple job with the right tools.

Anybody have any good leads? (hope, hope)

Thanks!

Do you have any sketches of what you need done? More details?

This is what I'm needing, holes drilled in brake drums for drainage and ventilation. Please, let's not turn this into a bashfest about this being a bad idea, this has been recommended by a LOT of guys with old Jeeps. Supposed to make a big difference in drum brake performance. My old Willys ain't gonna go fast, but in these mountains I want all the braking performance I can get. And disc brakes won't work with the stock Willys 16" steel wheels I'm going to use.

I'm going for the most stock-like restoration I can get, with upgrades to brakes, steering, and electrical for safety and performance. But it will look just like this when done. I'm NOT putting big wheels and tires on it.
