Hi Everyone,
I am toying with the idea of doing something I have never done before - paying for someone else to fix my classic car! I have had this pretty nice 1964 Chevy Impala Convertible for a couple of years now. It needs a few things and I just do not feel up to the task. I like to work on it, but my back has deteriorated to the point where if I work on it for 1 day, I am out for 3.
I was in the process of fixing a power steering pulley alignment issue and just have not been able to finish it. Same with the electronic ignition conversion I started (Pertronix). So now I have it partially disassembled so it has not run in almost 2 years! It is a crime to have this sit and not be used.
I was either thinking of hiring someone to come to my house and work on it, or even just having it towed somewhere, but I have no idea who can still work on these cars (and I am by no means rich, but can pay a reasonable sum). It is a dual four barrel car, so that adds to the complexity. It seems that most modern mechanics have never seen 1 four barrel let alone two from the factory!
Does anyone have any experience with people or shops in the central MD area? I appreciate your help!
