Default Little help from the locals?

I'm moving up from Jacksonville, FL next weekend to a place just off the Braddock Road metro stop - and I'm bringing this with me:

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/showt...hreadid=252166

Paint goes on today (original silver), and I may have time to get the interior finished, but doubt it'll be running. I'm thinking of leaving it down there until all the work is done and it's in drivable condition.

That is, unless, you guys can point me in the direction of another amazing find like the guy I've got down here. Basically, I'm looking for a shop without fluorescent lighting and stainless steel rolling tool chests, but rather someone with a little grease who REALLY knows and enjoys what they're doing and doesn't just look at me as a wallet with legs.

L'il help?

Oh, BTW, I'm Steve, nice to meet ya.

Steve,

Welcome. Personally, if the guys is good, and is actually working on the car on a regular basis, I'd have him continue. The work looks pretty good to me, and the prices for labor in FL are a helluva lot lower then they are here.

That said there, are a few good ones around. I know more retoration shops then I do able loners willing to work on the car, so their prices are on the high side.

Think your Iranian friend will continue at the same pace without your dropping by on a regular basis to check on things?

Keith
