I would also include Novak as a shop you should consider. Some of their full custom builds look terrific and they also take on smaller jobs.
Wilson Combat also does custom work on Colts with a good turn around time.
Novak did re-open but I think they’re only building guns to their spec.
Looking for a retroish flavor too. 70's 80's fighting/carry pistol. Garthwaite sounds like a good possibility if he's taking work. I've seen some fine examples here.
I'll check some others too. Thanks for the suggestions!

Garthwaite if he's taking work, but last I heard he wanted to do full-house builds and less bits and pieces. Evolution Armory was a good suggestion. Nighthawk hasn't been mentioned, but they would certainly be on my list.
Frank builds a helluva gun. I sure wouldn’t bet against this pistol. I haven't sent him work in a looong time, so I don't know how he's doing.
Garthwaite is still taking work, but full builds, I think
I’ve had a great experience with Bob at nighthawk recently. And the scope of work the OP lists, might be perfect for them

The first two sentences stood out and immediately I thought; Jason Burton!!!
I've been admiring his work for years.
Plus, and a huge one, he's a valued member here.

Yep, you're right -- my mistake. Their work looks real nice though.
