Have you tried Craig’s list and other online searches like that? It sure beats trying to find one here tha could be hundreds of miles from you.
That’s a little far away. Do you have personal knowledge of this guy or are you just looking in the digital phone book?
Haven’t thought of Craig’s list. My concern there is that the credential may not be there and no way to check them. But I’ll give it a shot. Thanks.
Do you have NextDoor? This might be a good question to ask there.
That was cruel.
I was signed up on NextDoor but canceled my account when the CEO when all in with the Black Lies Blather agenda. The “Karens” were insufferable, too.

NOOOOOO!!!! The attention to craftsmenship simply isn’t there in the vast majority of these cases. Shoddy, shoddy work, in my experience.
Find groups on Facebook that specialize in 70’s cars. Join the group and then try and find a member locally.
I belong to a muscle car group that is pretty good. Also a group for old trucks. Both have folks who do restoration.
Jerry is a friend of mine and won’t screw ya but he won’t take a screwing either.
Thanks. I’ll look into it. I’m “THAT” close to canceling my FascistBoot account, but I many utilize it for this one purpose.
Thanks, but Greenville is about 2 1/2 counties too far away. Dallas is far enough.
Mechanics generally won’t work on old cars as they don’t know enough about them. (I have a ‘56 Studebaker and ‘48 Plymouth. There are only three or four people in town who will even look at them.). You need to Google your model and “club.”. Join a club for your car. They will know everyone local who can and will work on them. Club members are a valuable resource for information and parts.

This thread is no good without pics. Women are great to see but classic cars are THE Beauty in life.
Great! I’m not familiar with Google groups, but I’ll explore.
Coming up.
You can check them. They either have worthy credentials or they don’t. Ask for references, maybe ask to see some examples of their work. Use your head and you’ll be fine. You’ll probably save a lot of money too, and the searches are focused on your area, not all over the country like trying FR. Good luck.
