    Yeah, but let's ADVERTISE we work on VINTAGE American cars so we can scam the owners out of money, and THEN call their cars CRAP! :D

    After this past work, I'm not sure a Mini would even make me blink. Maybe if you did a U-turn with it up there. :D

    I didn't see that post. To be fair, I dumped Facebook several years ago because of my work. I found the company because they advertised as specializing in European, Classic, and Muscle Cars. And they had some older cars in there with mine (American).

    Yeah, that's the ideal case. I've never really had a good place in life to do that. I've either not had a garage, or my job is just all consuming. I took my car in to these people in March, and I was clocking 60+ weeks . . . and going to get worse. Ironically, it was all technical work...

    I'm about $10k into everything . . . and it's not fixed. But, look at the bright side. For some reason, they screwed with my carb so I get to pay to have a great new tune on the carb. And, even better, I'm going to have a WICKED sounding exhaust (again) after I rip off the crap they put on. :D

    Oh, hey, I've hit Google and Yelp reviews. Does the team know of any other good review sites I can leave evidence of this travesty on? I did NextDoor, too.

    Oh, it completely was. In one of the videos he posted, it pans from the rear of the car (running), along the side (there's a guy inside doing something?), and then the open engine bay (they had the hood off). The air cleaner is off, and the message is that they're working on the motor or...

    Quick question about water pump / timing chain cover

    Hey team, I THINK I know the answer to this, but I want to run this by the team. If you crack the timing chain cover (part the water pump goes on, whatever) on a small block Ford, can the water get into the motor to mimic cracking a block? If this is laughable, that's a perfectly acceptable...

    I hear you. I guess my biggest problem with it all is that about 7 years ago, I changed the starter by climbing under the car in Lisa's dad's driveway on a Sunday afternoon while we talked about shooting later that afternoon. It was really pretty anticlimatic. And I could probably handle it...

    Well said. I've had a strange life with the car (since 1985). In high school, I did the usual stuff like alternators and water pumps. Oh jeez and starter solenoids. I went through some transmissions (C4), but that stopped when I got a Toploader. This was my college car, so we had a pro...

    Yeah, I'm sort of baffled. I've got the car at a repair shop that has done work for a neighbor's classic, some I'm hopeful here. They looked at the car and the work done and were pretty confused as to why there was a problem. Then they looked at the shape of the exhaust and sort of figured it...

    Thanks for the kind words. I've had some sketchy work done, before, but this one takes the cake. I'd be professionally and personally ashamed of this level of work, ESPECIALLY if my name was on the business. And his is.
