Sooooo frustrated!!

Where's the Fonz when you need a good mechanic??? He is your uncle after all!!! Seriously though Chachi, try this. Go to a couple cruise-ins and car shows around your area. Ask around to some of the Mopar guys as to where they take their car to get things done. I'll bet there are a couple of guys who don't have big shops (and overhead) to worry about that would do work on your car. Go by references from people who can show you some of the work they've had done at the shops they recommend.

In my town there is a fellow who works out of his 3 bay garage. He was injured as a teenager and has a hard time getting around on his bad leg, which has probably kept him out of a lot of the bigger shops around me. However, he does a very nice business and will work on anything I take him. He is old school and always has a trick or two up his sleeve to get things done. He is quick, always gives me an appointment and gets the work done in a timely fashion. He's very reasonable on his prices because he doesn't have any overhead. I'm sure there are at least a couple of good quality mechanics in your area like my buddy Chris, you just gotta ask some people in the same vein as you're in. Ask a Mopar enthusiast and you'll usually get the dish on some quality people. I know if you approached me at a cruise-in I'd steer you right!!!

Good luck with your project, I hope you can get some action on it!! Geof
